This is a bug in imapd, or more accurately the traditional UNIX mailbox
support module in the c-client library used by imapd.
I thought that I had exterminated all possible causes of this problem
while I was still at UW. Obviously, I missed one.
I was wondering why imapd does not merely return BAD to the SELECT
operation, and continue. Or is the thread too screwed up at that point to
safely do so ?
It is screwed at this point, and quite unsafe to attempt anything further.
If you can provide me with a sample mailbox that exhibits the problem, I
can look into fixing the problem in Panda IMAP. That might motivate you
into becoming a Panda IMAP site... ;-)
If you want to try fixing it yourself, have fun and good luck...(he says
with an evil chortle).
