[Dovecot] unexpected error message (maildir_sync_index)

[Kyle Wheeler]

Hello,

I recently saw these errors in my log, and one of my users complained 
that Dovecot disconnected him unexpectedly. Any idea what might have 
happened?

dovecot: Error: IMAP(bmoore at forkit.org): file maildir-sync.c: line 
1075 (maildir_sync_index): assertion failed: (uid > prev_uid)
