bug#7311: Parse error in nnimap

[Stefan Monnier]

Package: Emacs,gnus
Version: 24.0.50

Recently I've been getting the following backtrace on a fairly regular
basis when leaving my "emacs" nnimap groups:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil)
  nnimap-parse-line("* OK [PARSE] Unterminated comment: (Bmec <stepnem@gmail.com>")

  gnus-run-hooks(gnus-summary-prepare-exit-hook)
  gnus-summary-exit()
  call-interactively(gnus-summary-exit nil nil)

As far as I can remember the error is always on the same "(Bmec
<stepnem@gmail.com>", so it seems to be triggered by a particular
poorly formatted message.

Looks like partial iso-2022 encoding.

Apparently the offending mail is <tl7hbg53fn7.fsf@m17n.org>, which
contains this (decoded) header:

To: ^[$@debbugs.gnu.org (D*^^[(Bt^[$(D+5^[(Bp^[$(D+!^[(Bn

Ok; I've now fixed this parsing.  I'm assuming that string really comes
from the IMAP server, and isn't something that nnimap.el manages to
insert into the nnimap buffer.  Which seems unlikely.
