Hi Timo,

This just shouldn't be happening. Are you using NFS? Anyway this should replace the crash with a nicer error message: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/6c6460531514
Yes, we've got a pool of servers with Maildir on NFS with quotas enabled. Occasionally the users will run out of space and the indexes will get corrupted or out of sync. Our Helpdesk staff will increase their quota or help them delete things, and Dovecot logs a stream of " Expunged message reappeared" and "Duplicate file entry" messages as it straightens things out. This is a fairly common occurrence given the size of our user base, so I'm assuming this is the root cause... but this is the first time I've seen Dovecot crash as a result.
