my setup: linux 2.4.34, postfix, amavisd, dovecot, thunderbird-1.5.0.9 on XP, with rules moving incoming mails depending on "subject" and "from" into various subfolders.

Sorry, yes, it was: Corrupted Index file <path>/.imap/Gloria/dovecot.index: Record [2].uid=0
I've had four of these between 11th-15th January, all for different folders/users, not always "Record [2]" but all of them had "uid=0".
I'm beginning to think that this has something to do with creating index files and a race condition somewhere in it. I've done a couple of fixes that should change this error message to something else:

The last patch is the most important one, if my guess is correct. You should then start seeing "Record field cache points outside record size". I'm still not sure why that happens though.
Hmm. Actually I think that would also explain the memory corruption. Great, one less thing to worry about. Now please just tell me that my fix works? ;)
