Technically that command doesn't renumber of the messages. I believe it could be messing up Golded, but it's not due to renumbering.

Each message has a unique monotonically-increasing number that's not changed by maintaining or packing a message base. 'fixsmb' has a -renumber option (which understably would have a bad effect on Golded), smbutil doesn't have that option.
