Description:
------------
There was a patch on April 1 for imap.c that added a sanity check to the from and subject lengths when calling imap_headerinfo()

http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/ext/imap/php_imap.c?r1=1.247&r2=1.248

The error message says that the from / subject lengths have to be between 1 and 1024.  However it will not accept a fromlength of 1024 due to the  >=  operator.  MAILTMPLEN is 1024

This causes a problem for the pear library IMAPv2 as it defaults the fromlength and subjectlength to 1024

Either the error message must be updated to MAILTMPLEN-1,  or the operator and char array must be changed (this is preferred as to not bust IMAPv2)


Reproduce code:
---------------
I don't have a good example as  I use IMAPv2.  However, it seems like a simple problem just by looking at the code

Expected result:
----------------
imap_headerinfo should accept a fromlength of 1024

Actual result:
--------------
A warning is given:

Jul  8 00:01:49 php: PHP Warning:  imap_headerinfo(): From length has to be between 1 and 1024 in /usr/local/lib/php/Mail/IMAPv2.php on line 1505

I noticed the buffer size for the from / subject data wasn't increased.

Does it not need to be:
fulladdress[MAILTMPLEN + 1];

Since a subject of 1024 would fill fulladdress and not have room for a null byte at the end?

Felipe, please check that (sorry I'm too lazy to do it myself *g*)
