Indexer crash when fixing incorrectly named Maildir files

Hi,

If the indexer encounters, and fixes by renaming, an incorrectly named 
file, it crashes immediately afterwards. I would guess the old file-name 
is re-used after re-naming and but isn't checked because it is assumed 
to exist having come from a listing of directory contents.
