[Dovecot] Trying to allocate 0 bytes in index-mail-headers.c

Here's some more info on this.  I change ".subscriptions" to
".mailboxlist" so that dovecot and uw use the same file.  When I compiled
this one last night, I forgot to change it.  I realized this and since
running with the ".mailboxlist" change, I haven't seen one of these.
