Sorry Doug, just tried to investigate a bit (I am not the best programmer in the world). Msync should be called as follows:
int msync(void *addr, size_t len, int flags);
It looks to me in your case the parameter 2 is supposed to parameter 1 and I don't know what the heck got shoved in parameter 1. Maybe parameter 1 was supposed to be parameter 2 without the 0x??
Regards Andrew

Andrew,
Thanks for taking a shot at diagnosing this. That space is actually an artifact of me pasting log entries into the email. It doesn't exist in the config file or anywhere else.

Hi Doug,
I think this might be because there is a space between /home and /doug/Maildir/dovecot.index It would then see the /doug/Maildir/dovecot.index as a second argument.

From man msync:
ERRORS The msync() system call will fail if:
... [EINVAL] The addr argument is not a multiple of the hardware page size.From the command line:

Calculating:
0x1AFF4 = 110580 = 13*8192+4084
Not sure if this is relevant...
