I may be completely off track here (I am using mbox - you seem to be using
maildir)  but when this particular thing happened to me, it was the fault
of postfix. There is a maximum mailbox size setting somewhere in
/etc/postfix/main.cf. I have this

mailbox_size_limit = 102400000

I had changed it to this number from the original value (51200000). It
drove me nuts because my mailbox size went over 100mb at exactly the same
time I had upgraded (or was it changed) my distro. :(

ymmv, hth,
