[Dovecot] Dovecot rc9 error (More information)

[Daniel]

Hi

This happens when email is copied/moved from the inbox to another folder 
on the same imap account. The mail client goes into a loop with the 
below errors logged. This is on a 64bit Linux machine using the Maildir 
storage format. After doing a 'rm dovecot*' from the Maildir folder of 
the account having the problem the client can log in again but if the 
client tries to copy again it gets the same error. RC9 appears to be 
broken on this box. I have tested connecting form a windows machine and 
I get the same with thunderbird. I have tried with different accounts 
and they get the same problem.

I have down graded to RC8 and all is working OK so seems to be a problem 
introduced with RC9.

I have a 32bit Linux server with RC9 installed which has around 2000 
accounts on it and this has no problems so maybe not affecting 32bit 
machines.

If I can give any more information please let me know.

Am getting this error with Dovecot rc9 on a imap account.
