[PATCH] imap_searchqp: attempt to suppress error messages harder

[PATCH] imap_searchqp: attempt to suppress error messages harder

[Eric Wong]

In addition to setting $::RD_ERRORS and $::RD_WARN to `undef'
for parsing the generated $prd object, we'll make those `undef'
on Parse::RecDescent object instantion, too, in an attempt to
reduce test failures.

Furthermore, add a note about the occasional test failure and
maybe somebody else can help us figure it out since it's been
sporadically failing for a while...
