Hi
I'm getting segmentation fault in Dovecot 2.2.11. This happens when trying to do a user lookup by "doveadm user". The machine is running Arch Linux on i686 on ext3.
dovecot -n (I took this when running the previous version that works)

This is the error I get: # doveadm user ... doveadm(root): Error: userdb lookup(...): Disconnected unexpectedly field value
