Hi,
Installed Dovecot 1.1.3 today and started receiving panic errors on a few of our users:

Hi,
I am also seeing this problem. I haven't managed to generate a core dump yet, however I did get more logging in mail.err:

We were also using the quota plugin to access mailboxes via NFS. We have since disabled this plugin, and are no-longer observing this fault.
(We have found a way to reliably trigger this particular fault. Using Alpine, if a user deletes their postponed-messages IMAP folder, and then attempts to postpone a message, the IMAP process will crash shortly after the postponed-messages folder is recreated.)
