Could you try to see if switching to flock would make any difference? Just remember to make sure your MTA/LDA uses at least dotlocking if you cannot switch it to use flock.

I'm personally using only flock and I haven't seen any problems with Dovecot 1.0.alpha4.

Are you using Dovecot LDA?

No.

Since you are using mbox you would gain a lot from using Dovecot LDA, I'v been using it a several months now.

I've not had any crash yet.

Assertion failures are crashes, you should get core file from each of those if your system is configured to create core files, you also need "mail_drop_priv_before_exec = yes" in dovecot.conf.
