[Dovecot] dovecot 1.0-test69 io hangs

I've been testing test69 with pop3 (under Linux and with mbox).
I began testing with a large inbox (11000 mails) and it seems the 
communication between dovecot and the mailclient (evolution) stalls after 
1000-2000 messages transferred.

I've looked in to the (non-trivial) io functionality of dovecot.
What I see is that io_loop_handler_run() in ioloop-poll.c does not
signal any more data (and eventually the whole thing timeouts).

Evolution downloads the mailbox fine via qpopper.

I tried turning on rawlog:
   mail_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/rawlog /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3

I cannot find any logfile.. I must be missing something.

Any help or ideas ?

Cheers,
Jens
