I've been testing zlib again in Dovecot 1.1.1 (plus assert-crash fix)
and 1.1.2 and I'm beginning to think it may be some sort of race
condition (the Solaris 8 box is significantly slower than the SuSE one!).
If I leave a few seconds pause between the "FETCH <uid> BODY[]"
commands, it seems not to crash, even with the same sequence. Mind you,
I wouldn't have expected to be able to type quickly enough to cause
problems!
Is that plausible?
Best Wishes,
Chris
