I'm seeing this w/ 2.3.18ac8, Netscape 4.6 (RH rpm), remote POP3 retrieve, AMD K6-2 350.
This occurs in several recently-received messages: the message header is interrupted in the middle by approximately 1024 ^@ control characters. It appears to overwrite the message header and beginning of the body, as the mailbox folder size does not change pre- and post-corruption.
Going back to my devel tree, based on Linus' 2.3.18, and the problem goes away. It is apparently only repeatable by using e-mail 'til it breaks again.
