/offlineimap/head: changeset 474

- offlineimap (3.99.17) unstable; urgency=low

- Fixed two potential obscure race conditions in folder/Maildir.py. +
  Condition 1 involved the gettimeseq() function. This function
  accesses per-module variables but does not have a lock. It may have
  been possible for this to have been called in such a way that
  timeseq was not properly updated. + Condition 2 involved the call to
  gettimeseq(). Since the timeseq is based on the system clock, we now
  use the time as reported inside timeseq() rather than outside. This
  way, we can be assured that the same value is in use both places.

- Added debug code to savemessage in folder/Maildir.py to try to track
  down a mysterious 0-length file bug. -- John Goerzen
