I had a kernel panic today that brought my system down hard.  When I brought
things up everything works fine except for dbmail-imapd(was rc4). Hoping
that an upgrade might help I installed 1.1, and it didn't help at all.

Eventually, I traced the problems down to two entries in the message table
that had no messagebody entries (probably a copy during the crash).  This
seemed to force dbmail-imapd to barf on the entry, which aborted the
reporting of any new messages and caused all of the old messages in that
folder to be unreadable (dbmail-imapd would report no content to the
messages).

1) Dbmail-maintenance needs check for messages with no content and then fix.
2) Dbmail-imapd needs to be able to handle this error condition.

Additionally, I have reverted back to rc4 because it seems to be
*SIGNIFICANTLY* faster.  1.1 was requiring authentication for every folder,
timing out, and ignoring requests.  I can provide more info later, but my
logs may be a bit hosed (the above issues flooded my logs).
