Package: notmuch
Version: 0.15-2
Severity: normal

i run notmuch over a mailstore that is also served by a dovecot
instance (which is the reason for much of the spew below).

However, after a recent switch to notmuch 0.15, i got this one-time
error during "notmuch new":

 Internal error: add_message returned unexpected value: 4 (notmuch-new.c:543)

fwiw, i think that "unexepected value: 4" is NOTMUCH_STATUS_FILE_ERROR.

Unfortunately, i don't remember if this is the first time i've run
notmuch new since the 0.15 upgrade or if it has to do with some
particular message.

as you can see from the transcript below, running "notmuch new" a
second time didn't reproduce the error.  If you have any suggestions
on how i could supply better information, please let me know.

sorry for the vagueness of this report.
