Hello, I'm working on my virtual keywords plugin [1] to add an apparently simple feature: add a keyword to a message when it is moved or copied into a virtual folder (let's forget about what keyword to add, I'm starting with a hard-coded one to understand Dovecot plugin development).
So I've added a mail_copy hook by the notify plugin [2] and did a simple call to mail_update_keywords [3]. The current source code shows a call to mail_get_backend_mail, this is me experimenting, I've also tried calling mail_update_keywords directly on "dst" mail.
The result is an imap crash:

This happens after my hook returns. Now, before activating core dumps and starting to do some serious debugging and reverse engineering, I ask: do I have to do something extra such as opening a transaction or something? Isn't the notify plugin supposed to do that already?
Thanks for your help!
