[Dovecot] panic with lmtp proxy (assertion failed)

[imaami at netikka.fi]

Hello!

Got a panic&assertion failed with LMTP proxy. Target Dovecot LMTP  
server hanged and Dovecot LMTP proxy server started logging  
panics/assertions. Core dumps were disabled unfortunately, so I don't  
know if this is helpful at all:
