It is this EXPUNGE_PERIOD_HOURS value that makes non-threaded builds to  
fail. The algorithm can be changed a little bit though: it should not  
take into account only time-since-expunge but also inactivity time so  
it does not try to expunge mailboxes that have just been touched.

Still, the bug you observe is interesting and the stack trace difficult  
to understand.
