I'm seeing similar things in my buffered io builds, which makes me nervous...

If you could give me a reliable way to reproduce this, even intermittently, I would be happy to work on it. What do you mean by a "buffered io build"?

There is something odd going on with the imap unit tests generally. I backed out bug 531757 yesterday because it was failing 80% of the time in Linux builds. Not sure if the issue is real or a testing artifact, but I'd lay 80% odds it is a testing issue. Filtering is one of the toughest stresses on the system, so it ends up with a lot of these issus.

bienvenu, any feedback for comment 3?  Is this OS=All, or mac-only?

SeaMonkey: mostly Windows, but Linux too.

MacOSX seems to be quite rare on both.
