That patch doesn't fix anything. It only changes the error message to be more informative so I could figure out what is causing it. If you haven't seen any more errors, it's just a coincidence.
I have for some reason not seen the error since applying the above patch. But wouldn't it make sense to include the patch in the stable release so others can give input in the rare case they experience the same issue? At least until the issue has been resolved.
I don't say that this is a Dovecot issue, and I admit that it have to be a rare case, but when two independent people experience the same error, there have to be a problem somewhere.
Is there a problem adding a patch like this to the stable code?
Annoying to add ugly debug code for a problem that happens so rarely..
Should I ask the FreeBSD dovecot2 port maintainer to add it to the FreeBSD port instead?
I wouldn't mind them adding it.
