I just loaded 1.0.0 on a new box and am getting the following errors
periodically.

Has anyone else seen something similar? What additional information can
I provide?

Dovecot Version=1.0.0
OS: Debian Etch
CPU: x86
Maildirs are stored in NFS and only accessed via Horde/IMP webmail
client.
I have three other Dovecot boxes(1.0.rc28) running Sarge and haven't
seen this error before.
dovecot -n follows

Thanks for any help.
Paul
