[Dovecot] index file corruption

Hello everyone.  I am new to the list, so forgive me if this has been 
discussed already.

My configuration is as follows:

Fedora Core 3, fully patched through yum through today.
Dovecot 0.9.9.13
Postfix 2.1.5
Using Maildir with Mail stored in ~/Maildir

My issue is that, for some odd reason the inbox file index gets 
corrupt,  There is no rhyme or reason as to why it happens or when, but 
a simple rm -rf ~/Maildir/.INBOX fixes everything (I assume because 
Dovecot rebuilds the index file.)

Has anyone else on the list seen this?  Is there some workaround for it?

Andy
