imapd[15067]: Fatal error: word too long

[Amos Gouaux]

I've started noticing messages like this and got to wondering "What
sorry ass client is doing that to our IMAP server?"  Of course I
was assuming it was a Microsoft client.  ;-)

EGAD!  Just discovered that it's ME!  ;-)  Sure enough, quite
reliably I can generate such a message from our cyrus-2.1.14 
server by just exiting a particular IMAP folder.  Below is the
portion from *imap-log* where it dies.  It's interesting that
I don't get this with all folders.

Oh, yes I have auto-expire enabled for this folder, which currently
has 8,166 messages in it.  Maybe I shouldn't use auto-expire for
such a large folder....
