hey all-
just a ping to see if this ssue has been resolved. it's still popping up for me. Also wondering whose the owner of the OpenBSD port and if we'll be seeing an updated version anytime soon? we're still on 0.99.10.2 as far as i can tell...
cheers, darren

I am currently running dovecot 0.99.10p2 on OpenBSD-3.4-snapshot. It has been very stable, but I have recently noticed that I am having problems when checking IMAP-SSL mail with Mac OS X clients. There are not problems using Mozilla or Outlook on Windows, but Mac clients (Thunderbird, Mozilla, Mail.app) all exhibit the same behavior - they can check and send mail, but I end up with a single, rogue child imap process on the server that pins the cpu that i have to 'kill -9' to clear out.
Is this a Mac problem or a Dovecot problem? I'm not even sure what to look for in the logs...
Hmm. Check with ktrace what the imap process is doing and send the log to me? (I'm not exactly sure how ktrace worked, it was a bit weird.) And maybe check with gdb too where it's stuck at (gdb /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap <pid> and "bt" command). Or is it imap process or imap-login process?
Got one (although I'm not sure if this comes from handling a Mac mail reader):

This is what's happening on an alpha/freebsd, in a tight loop.

Unfortunately, I couldn't extract a gdb backtrace. Perhaps you can work with that until I can get one (should be another 2-4 days) (-:
Anyway, I haven't noticed problems with Mail.app.
Thanks a lot,
