[Dovecot] mail-cache-transaction.c error

Hello all.  I've just recently (this last weekend) migrated to Dovecot 
on my FreeBSD 4.x box.  So far, so good, I like it a lot, and plan on 
moving mboxes to Maildirs sometime this next weekend.

BUT....I've currently run into a problem.  I'm seeing an error when 
one user account tries to access the INBOX from Squirrelmail:

Mar  6 16:50:59 cerebus dovecot: IMAP(problemuser): file mail-cache-
transaction.c: line 250 (mail_cache_transaction_reserve_more): 
assertion failed: (size >= 2)

I'm using 1.0-test63:

Mar  6 04:17:47 cerebus dovecot: Dovecot v1.0-test63 starting up

I've since blown away the .imap folder for this user and tried again, 
it still fails.  Other user accounts are having no problems.  Here are 
the relevant log snippets:

Any help would be appreciated.
