Hello,

Since there's a cache problems in FreeBSD (and perhaps other 64-bit
environments), I'm going to out 0.9.12 tomorrow as a maintenance
release.

Sylpheed stores message file size using off_t. On FreeBSD, sizeof(off_t)
is 8. The previous version read/wrote it as is, but 0.9.11 reads/writes
it as 32-bit unsigned int. So the compatibility is broken.

This can be avoided by discarding the old cache, but if not do so, the
message marks can also be lost.

0.9.12 will automatically discard the previous caches, so the problem
won't happen.
