Yes, I'd like to know why it crashes. I've tried to prevent that
everywhere. Two ways to do this:

a) Run the imap binary directly:
MAIL=mbox:~/Mail:INDEX=MEMORY gdb /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap
r
x select inbox
.. crash?
bt

b) Set mail_drop_priv_before_exec = yes in config file, and core dump
should be written to your home directory.

I think I should write this down somewhere in web :)
