This would be my hypothesis. Certainly they need to take a defensive
stance. But it would be nice if they were clear and explicit about it.

I suppose if imaplib2 wanted to deal with this, it would have to use
guesswork to figure out that this is probably not a real EOF, and to
retry after an adequate delay.
