SUMMARY
=======

The following are some tests to determine whether a CONTROL.GLB file is
corrupt:

1. The file size must be 8 bytes in length.

2. The contents of the nmailbag and nletter fields do not look abnormally large.
  This is not necessarily a corruption that will cause the mail system not to
  work; instead, it is an indication that there was some file corruption in the
  database and that there may be future problems.
