Readers of BUGTRAQ probably have already seen the message indicating some of us have been seeing library problems, not fs corruption. At least those of us with problems specific to mailing lists may not have been seeing the fs corruption. A message seems to implicate multi-line X-Keywords header lines. Following is an excerpt from BUGTRAQ:

I don't know, if any patch, fix, work-around etc. exist.
X-Keywords is processed in 2 functions: mail_filter() (in imap/src/c-client/mail.c) filters out X-Keywords line and seems to handle multi-line keywords correctly unix_parse() (in imap/src/osdep/unix/unix.c) probably doesn't handle multi-line keywords Different results (different header sizes) causes pine crash.
The same may apply to X-UID, X-Status and Status header (I haven't test, so I'm not sure).
imap uses the same c-client library, so the same condition may cause imap crash.
