Just wondering if there's a way I could reproduce this problem..
It just hit me again, and now I realize that there is a common behavior pattern happening. In every case that this has happened, I have been deleting large numbers (>10) of messages from a mailbox. IIRC, in Maildir flags are expressed as filename additions, so a rename(2) is happening.
Perhaps dovecot is doing the rename, but not updating something in the index to match? Or, this could be a race condition related to the rename(2)....
