i'm just trying to reproduce this locally -- can you
confirm that this scriptlet should show the problem:

perl -MIO::Socket -e '$s = new IO::Socket::INET("localhost:9000"); $s->print("user USERNAME\r\n"); $s->getline(); $s->print("pass PASSWORD\r\n"); $s->getline(); $s->print("LIST\r\n"); for ($i = 1; $i < 2000; ++$i) { $j=1 + $i%500;$s->print("top $j 0\r\n"); }  $s->print("quit\r\n"); while (defined($_ = $s->getline())) { print $_; }'

(replace USERNAME and PASSWORD as appropriate)
