Hello.

Today one of my users has returned from vacation and his mailbox has 
grown to 67 Mbyte in 1705 e-mails. dovecot can't index this mailbox with 
this message (i've changed username with 'xxx'):
pop3-login: Sep 06 10:03:43 Info: Login: xxx [172.16.4.9]
pop3(xxx): Sep 06 10:03:43 Error: Error indexing mbox file 
/var/mail/xxx: LF not found where expected
pop3(xxx): Sep 06 10:03:43 Error: Error indexing mbox file

pop3(xxx): Sep 06 10:03:43 Warning: Timeout leak: 0x8065b90

Is it a bug in dovecot?

PS. dovecot-0.99.10.9 on FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT (a month before BETA1 
released).
