I can reproduce it in every IMAP folder. If someone with debugging
symbols buildin could try to reproduce it that would be great.
As the gdb output isn't very useful without:

#0  0x494fe537 in pthread_testcancel () from /lib/libpthread.so.2

#1  0x494f6ec8 in pthread_mutexattr_init () from /lib/libpthread.so.2
#2  0x4962f450 in ?? ()

Having a quick look into the Gnome bugtracker reveals that there is
quite a history of such sorting bugs...
If i find enough time i'll recompile and make a bugreport if no one has
done until then.
