It sounds like the index files themselves are corrupt, but the existence of .new files are almost certainly a red herring.
If so, how can we prevent the corruption from occuring? It always seems to appear when we shut down the cyrus processes and start them back up. Be nice if we didn't have to fix accounts simply because we did a stop/start sequence.
