Hi all,

I am running a mail server for family and friends based on Dovecot and Docker. Today I made a weird observation which I must have overlooked for a long time so far because they logs were written to the journal. However, I am usually only investigating the Docker logs.

It seems that some e-mail indexing leads to segfaults and it seems to be related only with Solr and Tika. I have auto-indexing turned on so sometimes the indexer-worker crashes when moving mails from one folder to the other or searching for mails otherwise. Also, if I try to manually reindex using doveadm index, the doveadm process quits with a segfault.

I am always running the most recent Dovecot version, in this case 2.3.11.3, but I am not neccessarily up-to-date with Solr or Tika. I am on Solr Version 7.4 and Tika 1.24.1. On the console I am receiving Tika errors and on the Solr Webinterface I see a couple of Ealry EOFs as well.

I am not a Linux expert from a dev perspective, but it seems to me that the client (Dovecot) closes the connection prematurely.

Does anyone have a hint? I am happy to provide more information if required. I need to know how to collect them, though.

Best,
Manuel
