My ISP had a hard drive crash. After the dust settled, my dovecot installation started failing with the following error every time a client tries to connect:
dovecot: imap-login: Panic: Trying to allocate 0 bytes
My installation has otherwise been stable and rock-solid for years. Both I and the techs at my ISP are stumped. Any advice on how to debug this would be greatly appreciated.

I have checked the MySQL configuration and everything seems to be OK there. In fact, I’ve checked everything that I know how to check, and everything seems to be OK. And yet it is not working.
Many thanks,
