Dovecot is crashing occasionally for me. Today it crashed six times in quick succession, as I fired up a computer (Mac) I hadn't used in a while, and my mail application (Apple Mail) tried to synchronize many large mailboxes.
The log entries look like this:
Aug 26 10:26:15 computer dovecot: dovecot: child 23223 (imap) killed with signal 6 (core dumped) Aug 26 10:26:30 computer dovecot: IMAP(granitemon): Panic: file istream-raw-mbox.c: line 583 (istream_raw_mbox_get_body_size): assertion failed: (rstream->body_offset != (uoff_t)-1)
Hello,
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-March/047426.html
dunno if it has been fixed in 1.2.16 or 1.2.17, you may try to upgrade to 1.2.17 or apply the above patch.
Thanks for googling that for me... :)
The tone of that message suggests that this core dump is probably not associated with data loss; any idea if that's true?
Thanks and apologies for not doing enough homework,
John Clements
