notice endless loops before using your patch, even then.
Several problems was fixed by François in earlier patches:

I guess that the endless-loop on 64 bit systems is fixed by one of François'
patches.
My patch fixed this issue as a side effect, I discovered that kio_imap4 read
lines of stream wrongly (i.e. read one line and half, instead one line at
once) and I tried to address this.
