- The problem initially showed up in the 4.0.X releases, and the only
- side-effect of the bug is the annoying messages on the console;
- otherwise, mailbox should work perfectly. I checked in a fix a long
- time ago, but it appears that this fix didn't make it into any of
- the recent releases. I'll track it down to make sure that it is in
- future releases.
