Bug fixed in 2.3 CVS earlier this week. (the missing (i < count) in 
cmd_reserve). I attach the message that I sent to cyrus-devel.

sync_client will be ignoring the spurious responses.

Subject: sync_server RESERVE command

Two separate bugs fixes, against current 2.3 CVS.

The missing i++ means that we would have failed to RESERVE some messages
where a given GUID appears multiple times in a mailbox. Not a huge deal.

The missing (i < count) was potentially serious: we fall off the end of the
ids array where RESERVE doesn't involve the last message in a mailbox.

I think that we got away with it. My reasoning follows:

If you are really unlucky 12/20 bytes of allocated but uninitiated memory
(ids[count]) will match one of the GUIDs later in the mailbox. This will
cause cmd_reserve() to reserve that message and issue a spurious response.

Fortunately sync_client will moan and then ignore the response if it wasn't
expecting the GUID. If it _was_ expecting the GUID then sync_server has
reserved a legitimate copy. In fact this should be impossible. If
sync_client wanted a message with that GUID, it would have asked for that
copy in that mailbox, so the ids array would have been longer.

ids[count] is always allocated.

There is a one in hundred chance that ids[count+1] is not, which would lead
to a segmentation fault if ids[count] matched a GUID.
