I guess the problem started when people started trying vpopmail 5.5:

I tried to fix 5.5 with this change:

http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/597e18c0bc7e

But I heard that it's now crashing when doing that call. (I'm not sure
which ones of those above problems are with this change and which ones
aren't.) And apparently that also completely broke 5.4.

I'm not entirely sure about 5.4 problems. I think I remember someone
saying that even when reverting the above change it didn't work.

I guess the problem is with MySQL.
