Hello,

This started happening on January 18th, after I upgraded Dovecot from "2.3.4-1" to "2.3.4-2". The package was rebuilt from our package maintainer due to bumping MariaDB from 10.1.x to 10.3.x. Before that, I did not have any issues at all. However, I don't see any impact from this error too, at least not for now. I made a coredump as the error suggests and I'm pasting it here, as per the bugreport rules:

The way I see it, indeed it is highly-likely to be related to the MariaDB version bump, but I cannot be entirely sure if it's not a bug in Dovecot, discovered by this bump. Please let me know if you need any other info, related to my setup.
It is very hard to be sure. Dovecot could be using the MariaDB API wrong (e.g., calling mysql_close() more than once) causing it to call abort().
You should install debug symbols for Dovecot and perhaps also MariaDB to obtain a useful gdb backtrace. Now, it has no symbol table for any of the function calls.
In most cases is useful to also provide your configuration (output from
dovecot -n).
