After upgrading from 1.0-test76 to 1.0-test78 (i386 on OpenBSD3.7), I 
immediately started seeing a bunch of these errors in the maillog:

Jul 14 07:44:15 mail dovecot: POP3(marilynearmstrong): file mbox-file.c: 
line 144 (mbox_file_seek): assertion failed: ((((char *)data - (char 
*)NULL) & 7) == 0)
Jul 14 07:44:35 mail dovecot: POP3(bdjohnston): file mbox-file.c: line 
144 (mbox_file_seek): assertion failed: ((((char *)data - (char *)NULL) 
& 7) == 0)
Jul 14 07:47:52 mail dovecot: POP3(tracyh): file mbox-file.c: line 144 
(mbox_file_seek): assertion failed: ((((char *)data - (char *)NULL) & 7) 
== 0)
Jul 14 07:48:05 mail dovecot: POP3(nedwilliams): file mbox-file.c: line 
144 (mbox_file_seek): assertion failed: ((((char *)data - (char *)NULL) 
& 7) == 0)

I'm not sure how this affected the users since I quickly reverted back 
to 1.0-test76 (it's a production environment that I recently migrated 
from RH Linux to OpenBSD). I'll be glad
to provide any other information that may be useful.

Thanks,
