dovecot - Apr 2004 - Setting "default_mail_env" Why is index->mailbox_path empty?

I now have 

default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=:/var/spool/mail/%u

I now getting:

Apr 26 15:55:32 jedrik imap(mclay): open() failed with mbox file : No such file
or directory

I tracked down where the error message is getting generated and added
some more printing:

In mbox-index.c I added:

int mbox_set_syscall_error(struct mail_index *index, const char *function)
{
	i_assert(function != NULL);

        i_error("index->mailbox_path: %%%s%%",
index->mailbox_path);
        i_error("index->dir: %%%s%%", index->dir);
        i_error("index->filepath: %%%s%%", index->filepath);
        i_error("index->control_dir: %%%s%%",
index->control_dir);
	index_set_error(index, "%s failed with mbox file %s: %m",
			function, index->mailbox_path);
	return FALSE;
}

This generates the following output.  It seems clear that the initial reading
of mbox is read correctly because index->dir and others have values derived
from
it but for some reason mailbox_path is empty.  This is version 0.99.10.4 built
with
gcc 3.3.2.  Here is the bottom of running ./configure:

Any ideas?

Remove ":" character after "INBOX=".
