Hi,

An assert and core with 1.0alpha3 on Solaris 9, mbox format, imap only, compiled with gcc 4.0.1. The syslog message was:

imap(user): file message-body-search.c: line 393 (message_body_search_ctx): assertion failed: (input->v_offset <= part->physical_pos)

This problem has existed quite a long time. I originally thought it was because of some index file brokeness, but something probably just gets parsed wrong in some conditions..

Anyway I added some extra asserts and checks to the code now, which hopefully makes it catch this problem earlier.

If you see a mail where this happens constantly, I'd like to see it. From the backtrace it looks like the message had either multipart/xx or message/rfc822 mime parts and crashed while searching some text from message bodies.
