I see now that this probably has nothing to do with the pop3 process_limit.
It's been happening regularly since we upgraded from v1.2.16 to v2.0 on
August 30.  Initially 200+ times a day, but has dropped down to 30-50
times a day for the last few days. Probably because of subscription
files getting emptied for the imap-users.

Is this a problem with our namespace:

	namespace {
  		inbox = yes
  		location = 
  		prefix = INBOX.
  		type = private
	}

which for v1.2.x was defined as:

	namespace private {
   		prefix = INBOX.
   		inbox = yes
	}
