[imp] Filtercode (HEAD) is killing existing filterdefinitions!

[Michael M Slusarz]

Quoting Dan Wilson <dan@acucore.com>:

| Same thing happened to me.  I had about 12, and the only one that was
| still 
| left was:
| 
| Move messages to folder Finance where the From header contains 
| alerts@ameritradeinfo.com
| 
| It even killed my blacklist (luckily only 2 emails in there).

I found the error - it wasn't in the logic of my code either.  IMP_Filter 
registers a shutdown function to save the filters anytime the filter list 
is changed.  However, for some strange reason, the IMP_Filter shutdown 
function only sees the filters list at the time when it was registered.  
Thus, this is why only 1 filter was ever being saved.

This does not seem to be the correct behavior, at least when reading the 
register_shutdown_function() documentation.  Anybody have any idea on this 
one?
