Thanx for advice. But shame to me -- after all the hassle, it turned out that the harddisk had a bad sector exatcly in the mbox file, and I didn't see it because I was doing all the things I wrote above, remotely. Fortunately, I managed to clone the hd with dd_rhelp. Now it's up and running again.
I'd still upgrade if I were you... again, LOTS of mbox (and other) fixes (improvements) since 1.0.15...
Sure. But, as concerns mbox, I already thought of migrating to Maildir. In this situation, I would just had lost one or a couple of mail messages instead of rendering the whole mailbox unreadable.
