The one time I've encountered corruption, the problem was a long string of nulls at the top, not blank lines.
Second time this happened, last night. User's "Trash" folder had a string of 15174 nul's at the top. Using Mozilla 1.8b on Win2kSP4 against dovecot-0.99.13-4.FC2.
Is the Folder accessed by dovecod via NFS?
If that is the case, this bug might be caused by the NFS client caching filesystem metadata.
For example, if dovecot thinks it is opening a 1200 byte file (by believing stat(2) to give correct info), while the file on the NFS server actually is 1800 bytes, strange things might happen, depending on how the different info from stat(2) and actually reading from the file is used / handled.
It might help adjusting the mount options (actimeo?).
