Fixed the crash: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/275be458d747

But you can also work around it by using:

mail_location = dbox:~/Mail:MAILBOXDIR=

Although the most preferred way would be to use:

mail_location = dbox:~/Mail:MAILBOXDIR=mailboxes

That also requires you to move all mailbox directories (including
INBOX/) under ~/Mail/mailbox/ directory. This is anyway the default in
v1.2+.
