[UniMacTech] CPU runaway for AFP on 10.4.10 server with Mail.app

This is a bit of a case of "Doctor heal thyself".

  We have a XServe G5 running 10.4.10 server. AppleFileServer hits  
100%+ CPU when I open some of my larger Mail.app folders (~9000  
messages) from my client machine. It doesn't seem to happen to anyone  
else. I have a GigE connection, but the network interface doesn't  
seem to be doing more than about 10Mbit when it's trying to open the  
files, so I doubt that's it.

Anyone have any thoughts on the subject? (other than clean up my  
mail.. the fact one person can kill a server by checking their mail  
is something we want to fix)
