If you can reproduce this, I'd like to know how. If this happens every
time with that mbox, that would be enough. In that case I'd like to have
the mbox and its index files. 

If this happens only randomly, then.. well, it has been caused by
different things in the past, and debugging it is annoyingly difficult.
I could try to make some debugging patches I guess.

I think usually the cause has been either a sequence of some headers
that Dovecot didn't like, or some external mbox modification which broke
things. Actually in the latter case this is not necessarily even a bug.
