Skiplist / best practice for 2.1 branch

[???]

First of all, I used skiplist for mailboxes.db with imap-2.1.9 for better performance.
But, I found sometimes the db gone to be corrupted, so I had to make a daily backup.
As the author wrote in the skiplist code, there would be some bug.
I think care must be taken to use skiplist so far.
