Truncated messages

[Allan Wind]

I am running the latest version of offlineimap from git with the 
sqlite backend and the idle feature on INBOX.

offlineimap downloads a few messages a day or so that are 
truncated after the first byte.  Most often I have seen just a 
space.  Here are the two instances I got today in my local
maildir repository:

allan at vent:~/mail/received/inbox/cur$ for f in *; do echo $f; od 
-a $f; done
1328116873_0.1832.vent,U=1156430,FMD5=7e33429f656f1e6e9d79b29c3f82c57e:2,
0000000   2
0000001
1328116954_0.1832.vent,U=1156432,FMD5=7e33429f656f1e6e9d79b29c3f82c57e:2,
0000000  sp
0000001

The part of the file name before the _ appears to map the file 
names that dovecot uses.  If this is accurate then I am not 
seeing the original messages on the server, but I am seeing a 
couple of messages that are "off by 1":

1328116872.M77138P19112V0000000000000900I0000000000060210_0.pawan,S=4056:2
1328116953.M317137P19151V0000000000000900I0000000000060214_0.pawan,S=3938:2,

I access this mailbox from my phone, mostly deleting messages 
that are not of interest, and I think there is a correlation 
between deleting the message on my phone and these truncated 
messages.
