Awesome!
Will this fix make it into 2.1.11, or should I toy with incorporating
your change and compiling a new copy of 2.1.10 by hand? Also, will the
seg fault have caused performance issues in breaking IDLE connections?
Just wondering what sort of impact this fix might have...
Thanks for working on this, it is most appreciated, I'm a big fan of
Dovecot!
