[Dovecot] Trying to allocate 0 bytes in index-mail-headers.c

Here's a new one.  It just started with the latest (April 8) CVS
version.

In index-mail-headers.c, line 622:
         fields = t_new(struct mail_cache_field, count);
count is 0

I'm seeing this with several mailboxes.  We're using mbox.

Here's the error message and backtrace.

dovecot: Apr 09 10:53:18 Error: child 3348 (imap) killed with signal 6
