Hi,
We're currently testing 1.2.x with a move from 1.1.x in mind however with the current 1.2 series we are encountering some serious problems. simply editing the main conf and restarting dovecot gives these errors seemingly randomly:
(some previous posts indicated this might be todo with 64bit file offsets so we've played around with disable-largefile and setting _FILE_OFFSET_BITS manually but without any success)
---- error while reading main dovecot conf file
Unexpected eof found when reading file 'UNOPENED' (Errcode: -1) Panic: file istream-file.c: line 80 (i_stream_file_read): assertion failed: (errno != 0) Error: Raw backtrace: /NOC4/dovecot/sbin/dovecot [0x41ad42] -> /NOC4/dovecot/sbin/dovecot(default_fatal_handler+0x34) [0x41ae54] -> /NOC4/dovecot/sbin/dovecot [0x41a486] -> /NOC4/dovecot/sbin/dovecot [0x41d9b0] -> /NOC4/dovecot/sbin/dovecot(i_stream_read+0x4c) [0x41cbbc] -> /NOC4/dovecot/sbin/dovecot(i_stream_read_next_line+0x28) [0x41d408] -> /NOC4/dovecot/sbin/dovecot(settings_read+0x129) [0x4174d9] -> /NOC4/dovecot/sbin/dovecot(master_settings_read+0x89) [0x4155a9] -> /NOC4/dovecot/sbin/dovecot(main+0x1d2) [0x413162] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0x2b6b8258c5c6] -> /NOC4/dovecot/sbin/dovecot [0x40aec9]
