I fixed one reason for this in rc11, but I don't know why it would
happen in rc13 anymore..

You need to have mail_drop_priv_before_exec=yes to get the core files,
and ulimit -c set to be high enough before starting dovecot.

If it happens only for that one mailbox, can you easily reproduce the
crash then? If so, could you put the mbox file through
http://dovecot.org/tools/mbox-anonymize.pl and send it to me? There's
something in the mbox that Dovecot doesn't seem to like.

BTW. There's no use to have prefetch there, since passwd will always get
used before that.
