Can you track down the specific message(s) that are causing the problem?

I've had exactly the same problem on HP-UX after upgrading to PINE 3.88 from 
3.07. The message went away after the users saved/deleted their old mail 
messages from INBOX. It seems there is a different date field handling in
PINE >= 3.87.
Hope this might help.

Greetings,
-Rainer.
