MAIL=~/Maildir MAIL_PLUGINS=acl ACL=vfile gdb imap

"Running environment" in http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting
explains a bit more.

I'm not exactly sure how this happens. I tried a few ways to reproduce
it, but it didn't crash. Once you get it working with gdb, could you do
"p name"?

Or you should be able to gdb the core dump as well if you run it with
"dovecot --exec-mail imap". Just make sure you do ulimit -c unlimited
first. The core should get written to home dir.
