This problem has existed quite a long time. I originally thought it was
because of some index file brokeness, but something probably just gets
parsed wrong in some conditions..

Anyway I added some extra asserts and checks to the code now, which
hopefully makes it catch this problem earlier.

If you see a mail where this happens constantly, I'd like to see it.
From the backtrace it looks like the message had either multipart/xx or
message/rfc822 mime parts and crashed while searching some text from
message bodies.
