[issue44408] imaplib fails when server sends extra blank line after literal value

[John L]

New submission from John L <johnl at taugh.com>:

Some IMAP servers return an extra blank line after a counted literal value, which makes imaplib crash.
MacOS mail and T'bird handle the blank line OK so it seems to be a somewhat common bug.
