In what way?

I've seen that twice so far with 0.99.11 / mbox: Windows clients,
Mozilla 1.7.x, User reports "cannot delet file". In both cases the
Trash file contained junk chars at the beginning - no conversion
involved, the accounts were used for months. A 'cat /dev/null >!
Trash' fixed the problem, fortunately it was only the trash.
