[imp] IMP oddities after system restore

[Michael M Slusarz]

Quoting Dan Brown <dan at familybrown.org>:

> I recently needed to restore my mail/web server from a tape backup.
> The system has two horde/IMP installations, one horde 2.2.1/imp 3.2.5,
> and the other from CVS HEAD as of about a month ago.  Prior to the
> restore, both installations were working fine.  After the restore, I'm
> seeing a strange problem in large (150+ messages) mailboxes, under both

Even more likely, since it occurs across IMP versions (3 and 4 - and 
the code was mostly rewritten between the two) this is an issue with 
c-client.  Try recompiling PHP with a different c-client version.
