Hi,

The server on which I am having this bug is currently running in
production, so I have tested the sid package on a seperate sid machine
that I already have running.  This version of Dovecot did _not_ exhibit
the UID-renumbering bug.

It was necessary to create a new dovecot.conf file, but this was
straightforward as the changes between the two versions were minor.

Obviously this isn't a perfect test as something ephermeral on the
original server could concievably be triggering this problem -- however,
I think that is unlikely.

Cheers,
David
