I spoke too soon! Although the patch did reduce the numbers of Panics significantly, I'm still getting Panic messages of the kind below:
dovecot: Sep 16 09:56:46 Warning: IMAP(user): UIDVALIDITY changed (1220425974 -> 1221545790) in mbox file /mail/spool/user dovecot: Sep 16 09:56:46 Panic: IMAP(user): file index-sync.c: line 39 (index_mailbox_set_recent_uid): assertion failed: (seq_range_exists(&ibox->recent_flags, uid)) dovecot: Sep 16 09:56:46 Error: IMAP(user): Raw backtrace: imap [0x483cd8] -> imap [0x484743] -> imap [0x483f96] -> imap(index_mailbox_set_recent_seq+0) [0x4541d0] -> imap(index_mailbox_set_recent_seq+0x43) [0x454213] -> imap [0x43c836] -> imap(mbox_sync+0x380) [0x43d220] -> imap(mbox_storage_sync_init+0x6a) [0x43d68a] -> imap(mailbox_sync+0x1c) [0x45753c] -> imap(imap_status_get+0x90) [0x420ea0] -> imap(cmd_status+0xfc) [0x419f2c] -> imap [0x41b7c3] -> imap [0x41b788] -> imap [0x41ba5a] -> imap(client_input+0x63) [0x41bc33] -> imap(io_loop_handler_run+0x109) [0x48b529] -> imap(io_loop_run+0x28) [0x48a8e8] -> imap(main+0x3f2) [0x423312] -> /lib64/tls/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xdb) [0x337911c40b] -> imap [0x4157fa] dovecot: Sep 16 09:56:46 Error: child 19238 (imap) killed with signal 6
This only seems to be happening for a handfull of users.
I've just upgraded to dovecot 1.1.3 and am STILL getting these Panics. I have tried clearing the cache files but this seems to make no difference.
Any help is appreciated!

That patch certainly worked for me!
I unpacked dovecot 1.1.2 into a directory, copied the patch intothere and ran: patch -p1 -i patchfilename.patch Then configured and compiled/installed as normal and all was well! If you are applying the patch to a dovecot 1.1.2 source that you have already compiled from, you might want to do a "make distclean" to remove any existing compiled code that might confuse make before you configure/compile/install just to ensure the patch is compiled in.

I'm hoping it's the "didn't get patch right" ;) I don't reallyhave any other ideas right now, let's wait and see what others report..
