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.
