Reading your old mails: are you still using GPFS? This crash just
shouldn't be happening, so perhaps something randomly breaks with it.
Are you using mmap_disable=yes? Multiple servers can access the same
user's mails at the same time?

Anyway Dovecot still shouldn't be crashing no matter what GPFS does, but
I won't try to fix v1.0 indexing bugs anymore since I've already done a
ton of work to get them more robust in v1.1.
