I can't find that in the syslog. But I found this just before the
backtrace:

    deliver(someuser at mydomain.no):  file mail-index-sync-update.c: line 854 (mail_index_sync_update_index): assertion failed: (view->hdr.messages_count == map->hdr.messages_count)

No, it crashed:

    4 times today. 3 for the same user and 1 our "quarantine" user

    3 times yesterday. 2 for "quarantine", plus 1 for another user.

The "quarantine" user is a user that get's all suspect spam, and got
almost 4000 messages the last 24 hours. So the failure is not something
that happens very often..

I just tried piping a copy of one of the bounced emails to deliver,
but I couldn't trigger a crash :-(
