[Dovecot] asserts and cores in beta3

[Jeff A. Earickson]

Timo,
    I'm way, way out of town this month (in Pierre, South Dakota tonight),
so I have not gotten to try any of the patches that you sent earlier.
Give me another week or two before I get back.  Checking my dovecot.conf,
I am using the defaults for dirty_syncs and very_dirty_syncs.
