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.
