Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5+ (20040222)

The latest nightly builds of Thunderbird no longer treat two-letter email
folders correctly. Until nightly build 20040210 or 20040219 I had no problem
with two-letter email folders, such as NA or ZZ. The latest nighly builds at
startup generate NA.msf.msf, ZZ.msf.msf and ZZ.sbd.msf files and show NA.msf,
ZZ.sbd and ZZ.msf as regular email folders in the GUI.

I removed the panacea file and the wrong files, but Thunderbird generates them
every time I select the folder to see the messages it contains.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a two-letter email folder in the GUI.
2. Select it to see the messages it contains.
3. Restart Thunderbird.
Actual Results:  
If the two-letter folder is a regular email folder, it generates a .msf.msf file.

If the two-letter folder is a sub-directory, it generates two files:
.msf.msf
.sbd.msf


Setting it to major, because it is an important bug. Set it back if necessary.
I see this too. I wonder if it's string related...

I'll confirm as well.  I saw this for the first time with:
Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5+ (20040221)

though I haven't updated since I believe the 14th or 15th.  

So I do see it falling in the timeframe of Darin's checkin (Bug 231995 I think).
tracked it down to RFind in the obsolete string routines -> Darin.
