[Dovecot] still issues with metadata support

[Mihai Badici]

I't's still unclear for me why but I have two servers, one using Slackware 
14.0 and the second one using Slackware 14.1

I use the same slackbuild script to build the package; but I have that issue 
only when building on Slackware 14.1
I copied the package from 14.0 to 14.1 and replaced the one built localy;


01 getmetadata "*" (/private/kolab/activesync)
* METADATA Default (/private/kolab/activesync NIL)
* METADATA Contacts (/private/kolab/activesync NIL)
* METADATA Calendar (/private/kolab/activesync NIL)
* METADATA Trash (/private/kolab/activesync NIL)
* METADATA INBOX (/private/kolab/activesync NIL)
 
So it can be an issue generated by the compiler or some newest library.
It also works on Debian ( but is not compiled by me)
On slack 14.1 i have  gcc version 4.8.2 (GCC)

If is usefull:
ldd /usr/sbin/dovecot 
        linux-gate.so.1 (0xffffe000)
        libcap.so.2 => /lib/libcap.so.2 (0xb7717000)
        libdovecot.so.0 => /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 (0xb7643000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb74b8000)
        libattr.so.1 => /lib/libattr.so.1 (0xb74b3000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb74ad000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0xb74a4000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7738000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb748a000)
