It is still a real bug. Cyrus should be resilient to fucked up input data
(as long as you are feeding it through lmtp or imap). If it is segfaulting,
it means that outlook is feeding crap to Cyrus, and we are eating it raw
(instead of complaining).

Unfortunately I don't have time to try to track it down right now :(  I am
using my Cyrus time to package 2.2, and fix the morgue stuff.  Maybe one of
the core developers :-) will do it.
