Cyrus Data Loss / Cache corruption after

[Gregory Harris]

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the tip!  Much appreciated.  Just out of curiosity, you have 
a fairly large userbase over there at oregon state (I used some of your 
migration scripts--Thanks!!), have you run into any data loss like this 
before with entire folders or several messages just getting mysteriously 
deleted?  What version do you run over there?

Thanks again!
