The original report (2005-02-25, reported against a CVS snapshot as of
2004-09-07) read like this:
As soon as my mailbox exceeded 2GB, mutt began to fail whenever I tried
to read the mailspool file. It aborts with:
Value too large for defined data type (errno = 75)
* * *
Today, what I observe, though, is an infinite loop: mutt keeps on reading
messages, way past the number of messages in the mailbox.
