Ok, one month later I have the debug logs ready for you:

1. 
http://gentoo.org/~agriffis/offlineimap_bug/20040610_1204_All_bad_machine_before_problem.bz2
2. 
http://gentoo.org/~agriffis/offlineimap_bug/20040610_1249_All_good_machine.bz2
3. 
http://gentoo.org/~agriffis/offlineimap_bug/20040610_1247_All_bad_machine_with_problem.bz2
4. 
http://gentoo.org/~agriffis/offlineimap_bug/20040610_1256_All_good_machine.bz2

Explanation of the logs:

- The machines do not have syncronized clocks.  The offlineimap runs
  happened in the order that they are listed above, even though #2
  says 1249 and #3 says 1247.  The clock on the good machine is about
  2.5 minutes ahead of the clock on the bad machine.

- The "All" in the logs above is a result of my logging wrapper for
  offlineimap.  It indicates that I was synchronizing all accounts.
  Most of the time I synchronize only one of the accounts at a time.
  The fact that this has only ever happened to me when I'm
  synchronizing multiple accounts simultaneously is what suggests to
  me that it's a threads/locking problem, but I honestly haven't
  attempted to decipher the logs

Let me know if there is more I can provide.  The bad machine is still
in its bad state so I can extract more information if you need it.

Regards,
Aron
