>From the debian bug it appears there's half a dozen commits that need to
be looked at to backport.  I took a quick skim and they aren't
one-liners but don't look like they'd be unacceptable for SRU, and I'm
not sure all would be required.  No idea whether they'd backport
cleanly.

Agreed this needs a reproducer test case defined, especially to aid in
identifying which patches need included.  It looks like it should be
synthetically reproducable but it hasn't been boiled down to a test case
suitable for SRU yet.  Sounds like it needs a large (>2Gb) mail dataset
to trigger, which I'm guessing is the main challenge to figure out.

So, this looks like not a quick turn around, unfortunately.  Not opposed
to taking this, but I'm a bit buried in RM items at the moment so am
reluctant to take on non-trivial bugwork right now.  Worth discussing at
housekeeping tomorrow, though.
