I have done another test-run with the environment variable EMAIL_VERBOSE
set.

$ grep -n "^been_here: forward " maillog-abergolth.txt
122:been_here: forward /home/abergolth/.forward: 0
235:been_here: forward /home/abergolth/.forward: 1
$ grep -n "^been_here: forward " maillog-lhock.txt
122:been_here: forward /home/lhock/.forward: 0

So maybe the problem is here:
-------------------- 8< --------------------
/*
* Do the duplicate check.
*/
if (htable_locate(dup_filter->table, lookup_key) != 0) {
status = 1;
} else {
if (dup_filter->limit <= 0
|| dup_filter->limit > dup_filter->table->used)
htable_enter(dup_filter->table, lookup_key, (char *) 0);
status = 0;
}
-------------------- 8< --------------------
Ah! The problem seems to be the duplicate_filter_limit!
I set it to 10000 and now everything works fine!
But maybe the default behavior when the dup_filter->limit is reached
should be to print out an error and abort instead of quietly not
inserting it and thus looping on the first .forward that contains an
entry for \username?
