If it was Solaris + imapd-2007 + mbox, that was me.  :-)  The issue was never entirely resolved, although the patch Mark suggested seemed to help somewhat, which was something like (modulo line # fuzz):

  }

Over the longer term we ended up switching over to Dovecot + Maildir, but I'd still buy MRC a $BEVERAGE for UW-IMAP...
