[Imap-uw] MIX Index Folder Corruption

Hello,

We are working with MIX in our development platform in preparation for 
rolling it out.  We just got this error when trying to access on 
particular MIX-formatted folder over IMAP:

error: mix index data mismatch: 15

This error did not fix itself.  I deleted the .mixindex file manually 
and the error went away.  But now there are no messages and we can't 
copy new messages into the folder.

Attached is a TGZ file of the example MIX folder from the time this 
error was happening.  This was sitting on a Red Hat Linux Enterprise ES 
3.0 install.

That we are getting errors like this already in light development 
testing is a little scary.  Any idea how to repair this kind of error?  
Also, what could cause it?  Is this something addressed in 2006a (when 
is that due out, btw - and should we wait on any live rollout until it is?)

Thank you,

-Erik Kangas
