Nobody bit on this yet. :-) I regret my choice of subject; perhaps it's not appealing/appropriate as it mentions an older version.
I did narrow down the problem a little. This configuration works up through 2.2.2. At version 2.2.3 and beyond, I get segfaults. So, something changed with 2.2.3 that our configuration is tickling. I'll continue to poke at it, but those who look at core dumps would probably get right to the issue.
thank you

We're currently running 2.1.16. I've been wanting to update to a 2.2.X version, but have been running into problems, even with the latest (2.2.12). I'm not sure at what version this issue appeared, but I believe I've tried 2.2.10, 2.2.11, and now 2.2.12.
We have a shared maildir setup. With that configuration in place and with a user in the dovecot-acl file, I can do the following to make it segfault every time. Note if I comment out the shared namespace config, it does not segfault.

I've got core dumps from it. I assume the gdb examples give a reverse trace of the calls. If more is needed, I can supply.
