It means Dovecot thought it knew exactly what was in mbox file, so when
it had to do some changes to mbox (eg. flag changes or expunges) it
jumped right to the beginning of the mail that needed modification. But
one of those mails contained X-UID header that was broken or contained
an unexpected value. It shouldn't really happen unless some other
program goes and modifies the X-UIDs..

Remove them: cat mbox|tr -d '\r' > mbox2;mv mbox2 mbox

It's a problem with 1.0-tests too.

Sounds like some 1.0-stable's login-process was left running..
