Using maildir++ with LDA and POP/IMAP we have been seeing intermittant maildirsize corruption. Where an operation will be prepended by a handful of ASCI null characters ^@^@.

Is this a real problem? From the code:

I guess I could make it recalculate the quota if it detects any errors in the file.
