  Unfortunately, I am not really moving forward with that as I do not
  have much insight into the context structure in question. I guess we
  need to wait until Timo answers my e-mail.

  On the other hand, nice the hear I am not the only person with this
  problem :-|

  Jackie, is there a chance you could confirm my doubts by doing what
  I did in <mid:1799018363.20070903123736 at poczta.onet.pl> and the
  original message? This way we would be sure we are talking about the
  same problem cause here since 'Dovecot hangs' sounds a bit generic.
  I think the stack trace and the variable values should be enough to
  confirm it.
