Hello,

I'm still wondering... under which circumstances could the crash occur?

Trying here to reproduce it with an unpatched 2.2.12, without "success": LIST and UIDL always return consistent results, without crashes, and behave that way on several mailboxes.

I'm asking, because the problem could thus be tied to some configurations/settings only (as Urban wrote: "I saw some people on the list [...]"); but the correction brought by b0359910ec96 is an unconditional one.

On the other hand, the problem might be raised because of some particular combination of circumstances, which I can't reproduce now, but which I could face one day or another...

Hence the question: to patch or not to patch?

Many thanks in advance,
Axel
