[Dovecot] "racing" error ???

[Timo Sirainen]

That shouldn't affect anything, especially because Dovecot just strips
away the trailing '/' internally. Probably just restarting Dovecot
helped.

The error means that Dovecot was trying to rename a maildir file, but
the filename was changed before Dovecot had a chance to do the renaming.
It tried 10 times to do this before giving up. Really shouldn't be
happening unless there really is something that keeps changing the mail
file's name very quickly..
