[Dovecot] Problem with 'doveadm mailbox status -t' reporting cumulative vsizes after upgrading from v2.0.16 to v2.1.7

Hi,

I upgraded from Dovecot v2.0.16 to v2.1.7 over night and I noticed this
morning that one of my daily reports which lists summarised mailbox
sizes per user has started listing nonsense for vsizes.

The reporting script at its core calls :

doveadm -f flow mailbox status -A -t 'messages vsize' '*'

It appears that Dovecot 2.1.7 is not resetting the vsize after collating
the sum total of mailboxes sizes for each user, so that vsize just
constantly increases as it iterates over each user.

Eg:

# doveadm -f flow mailbox status -A -t 'messages vsize' '*'

accounts at example.com messages=1 vsize=759
adam at example.com messages=0 vsize=759
amy at example.com messages=24 vsize=51699697

[SNIP]

The same occurs with -u '*@example.com' in place of -A, and also for
'all' in place of 'messages vsize'.

Is this expected behaviour in 2.1.x compared to 2.0.x, or have I
stumbled upon a bug?

Regards,

Jase Thew.
