Hi,

I'm experiencing the following problem when runnig dovecot-1.0-test set up to authenticate users against openldap, while the corresponding setup with dovecot-0.99.11 works fine :

. my platform : FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p1 . dovecot version : dovecot-1.0-test57 . openldap version : openldap-2.1.27

• Description :

When I talk IMAP to the dovecot server, I can connect on port 143 and receive the 'Dovecot ready' greeting message, but when I issue the command 'x LOGIN username userpass', the following message is written to the log file :

'dovecot: Dec 13 16:40:26 Error: auth(default): dovecot-auth in free(): error: chunk is already free dovecot: Dec 13 16:40:26 Error: child 17260 (auth) killed with signal 6'

• here's a gdb backtrace of the dovecot-auth running process as it happens :

(gdb) continue Continuing.

• here are the configure options I passed when compiling openldap and dovecot :

  • dovecot

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/dovecot-1.0-test57 --with-ldap --with-cyrus-sasl2 --with-rawlog --with-ssl=openssl --with-storages=mbox,maildir

• openldap

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openldap-2.1.27 --with-threads --with-tls=openssl --enable-dynamic --with-cyrus-sasl --enable-ldbm --enable-crypt --enable-lmpasswd --enable-ldap --enable-meta --enable-rewrite --enable-null --enable-monitor --enable-bdb --with-ldbm-api=berkeley --enable-spasswd --enable-wrappers
