If you look at the UIDs in your previous mail, they
correspond to

Hash                              Filename
--------------------------------- -----------------
313030343834393135362e3134333630  1004849156.14360
313030343834393135362e3134333630  1004849156.14360
313030343834393135382e3134333633  1004849158.14363

... i.e., two messages were delivered in the same second
by PID 14360, and the last two characters (which would
have disambiguated the names) were chopped off. The
comments in my previous email still apply.
