We've seen it happen several times that when the file in /var/mail gets over about 2.5 meg it looks to the caller as if they have no mail waiting for them. I asked BSDI about it, and they said it's a bug in the client software. However, I've seen it happen with three different mail clients, so I'm not so sure that's the real problem.
