For whatever reason, once the size of any MBOX in /var/mail exceeds
approximately 30M it becomes corrupt. Qpopper refuses to deliver the
mail. Attempting to open the MBOX with pico causes a warning about 'file
with long line' being issued.

I have both postfix and procmail installed. I am fetching the mail from
remote sites via fetchmail. I have tries removing both fetchmail and
procmail and having the mail delivered directly to my server, but the
problem still exists. The situation was the same when I was using
sendmail as opposed to postfix.

I have other files on the drive that exceed this size and they are not
corrupted. Is there some setting in FBSD that I should be tweaking? This
has really got me stumped.
