Busy looping on my IMAP server...

[Sam Roberts]

Bon soir!

I have to read the code, to see what is supposed to happen, but does
anybody with a knowledge of IMAP have a comment on how I might get to:

~/s/mailutils/examples $ make mbox-explode && mbox-explode 
imap://sroberts:address@hidden gg
make: `mbox-explode' is up to date.
g1 SELECT INBOX
g1 OK [READ-WRITE] SELECT completed
g2 FETCH 1 BODYSTRUCTURE
g2 OK FETCH completed
msg 001: 01 parts
msg 001: part 01 > gg/m001.p01
g3 FETCH 1 BODYSTRUCTURE
g3 OK FETCH completed
g4 FETCH 1 (FLAGS RFC822.SIZE BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (Bcc Cc Content-Language 
Content-Transfer-Encoding Content-Type Date From In-Reply-To Message-ID 
Reference Reply-To Sender Subject To X-UIDL)])
g4 OK FETCH completed
g5 FETCH 1 BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (Content-Transfer-Encoding)]<0.1053>
g5 OK FETCH completed
g6 FETCH 1 BODY.PEEK[TEXT]<0.2048>
g6 OK FETCH completed
g7 FETCH 1 BODY.PEEK[TEXT]<510.2048>
 .... just hanging.... so I attach with gdb...

And step in circle a little bit, and print out:

(gdb) 
imap_fetch (f_imap=0x80dec30) at folder_imap.c:1513
1513          if (strncmp (token, "FLAGS", 5) == 0)
(gdb) 
1517          else if (strcasecmp (token, "BODY") == 0)
(gdb) 
1524          else if (strcasecmp (token, "BODYSTRUCTURE") == 0)
(gdb) 
1528          else if (strncmp (token, "INTERNALDATE", 12) == 0)
(gdb) 
1532          else if (strncmp (token, "RFC822", 10) == 0)
(gdb) 
1557          else if (strncmp (token, "UID", 3) == 0)
(gdb) 
1562        }
(gdb) p token
$2 = "3\000DY", '\000' <repeats 84 times>, 
"T\203\005\b????\003\000\000\000\000\000\000\000T\203\005\b????", '\000' 
<repeats 11 times>, "h`%\r\b"

I seem to be busy looping on the same chunk of text here, no more reads, just
going in and out of imap_token()...

Doesn't happen on all messages, either... just this one.

Ok, I have to go get something to eat.

Cheers!

Sam
