I'm getting a few other crashes now as well as we deploy this to more
'live' mboxes.  Here is one backtrace but I've got a dozen core files from
processes that died at the same place.  I'm also seeing lots more of this
error with POP3 users only:

file mbox-lock.c: line 493 (mbox_lock): assertion failed: (lock_type == F_RDLCK ||ibox->mbox_lock_type != F_RDLCK)

And lots more of this one with IMAP users only:

file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 460 (mbox_sync_rewrite): assertion failed: (mails[idx].space > 0)

I have mail_cache_fields=flags in the config.

And here is one connection through pop3 that dies at the same place:

I can't reproduce any of the problems but they do seem to occur often...
