Hello

I have this errors in my dovecot.log every day or two:

... dovecot: Jan 24 10:28:56 Error: auth-worker(default): Out of memory (Needed 8164 bytes)

Since that process is executing only MySQL queries, it looks like there's a memory leak somewhere in there.. Would be nice if someone with more time could take a look at it :)

For example you could try setting

auth_executable = /usr/bin/valgrind --leak-check=yes --num-callers=10 /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth

And after some time send HUP signal to Dovecot, and then it should print to logs all the leaked memory.
