[Dovecot] Truncated emails in Dovecot (v1.0.13)

Odd situation started recently whereby emails that are delivered into a 
maildir folder are being truncated when read. The emails are delivered 
via Exim and I can see the emails are complete when I look inside them. 
However, when viewing the emails via Thunderbird or a webmail client, 
they are truncated.

I've deleted the dovecot cache and rebuilt, but there's no change here. 
This is running on a Gentoo Linux server (Xen) with kernel 2.6.20.

Any ideas?

Iain.
