Hello, I regret that _I_ don't have an answer. But wanted to mention that I ran into _exactly_ the same situation with .99 I fought it for several days trying to DEBUG the cause for it. But finally gave up out of frustration. I'm successfully running 1.0b7 now. But will be watching this thread closely in hopes to find what causes this.

Best wishes, and the best of luck to you.

I have just upgraded from courier to dovecot and things seem to be working okay (after a few problems getting shared folders working correctly).

I notice the following error message in my logs:-

Jun 23 11:17:32 calzone dovecot: child 1258 (auth) killed with signal 11

I am using the beta9 ebuild that is available from gentoo portage. I have followed the steps to try to get a core dump but it doesn't seem to be working.

My config file is as follows:-

=============================================================== protocols = imap imaps

protocol imap { listen = 127.0.0.1:143 ssl_listen = *:993 }

mail_drop_priv_before_exec = yes auth_debug = yes #mail_debug = yes

default_mail_env = maildir:/var/spool/mail/virtual/users/%u

auth default { mechanisms = plain digest-md5 cram-md5

userdb passwd-file { args = /etc/imap.passwd } passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/imap.passwd } } namespace private { separator = . prefix = Inbox. inbox = yes }

namespace public { separator = . prefix = Allstar. location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/virtual/users/shared::CONTROL=/var/spool/mail/virtual/control/%u:INDEX=/var/spool/mail/virtual/control/%u }

All users use UID/GID 5000.

/etc/imap.passwd contains enteries such as:-

paul:rMPY999gvr2kU:5000:5000::/var/spool/mail/virtual/users/paul

Any advise on how I can produce a core dump and get this fixed?

Thanks

Paul
