[Dovecot] problem with deliver segfaulting
i'm facing a pretty hard to debug problem when trying to use dovecot LDA (deliver) from postfix. After having all configured, mail deliver fails. This is from my maillog:
Feb 12 21:27:54 correio postfix/pipe[12484]: 930F9F6105: to=solutti@domain.com.br, relay=dovecot, delay=0.21, delays=0.03/0.01/0/0.18, dsn=4.3.0, status=SOFTBOUNCE (Command died with signal 11: "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver")
at the same time, i have from my /var/log/messages:
Feb 12 21:27:54 correio kernel: deliver[12485]: segfault at 0 ip 4c1be763 sp bff64c28 error 4 in libc-2.5.so[4c193000+13f000]
so, seems deliver segfaults.
so i tried enabling mail_debug=yes on dovecot.conf for getting some debug ..... and, with mail_debug enabled, deliver WORKS !!!!
Feb 12 21:28:41 correio postfix/pipe[12748]: 1A969F6105: to=solutti@domain.com.br, relay=dovecot, delay=0.28, delays=0.03/0.01/0/0.24, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service)
disabling mail_debug makes the segfault happens again .... and reenabling mail_debug make it works again !
how can i debug this !?!?!?--

how can i debug this !?!?!?
and now the most weird thing i found ...COMMENTING out the mail_debug line on dovecot.conf make it works !!!! Having 'mail_debug=no' makes it segfaults, having it mail_debug=yes make it works and commenting out the mail_debug line makes it works too !!!
i have found something mentioning postfix and mail_debug onhttp://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix
but that says about dovecot older than 1.0.1, which is not my case, i'm running 1.2.10.
that was weird .....--

Can you cause it to crash by running deliver directly from command line? If so, gdb backtrace would be nice:
gdb /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver run <it probably crashes here> bt full

yes i can make it crash from command line. Hope the informations help you ....
i'm running a CentOS 5.4 i686 box, dovecot 1.2.10. i've just recompiled 1.2.10 to install it without stripping. i've always heard that (stripping) makes debug with gdb too weak ... i dont know about that, dont have sure. Anyway, i just recompiled and installed with 'make install' instead of my usual 'make install-strip'
dovecot -n is at the end of the email
as i've already found this seems to be mail_debug dovecot.conf variable related .... i'll try some variations here.
- running with 'mail_debug=no' on dovecot.conf, deliver segfaults

Oh, this one. It's a libc bug.. I reported it to Ubuntu people already: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/380487
Wouldn't hurt to report it elsewhere too :)
Anyway, it crashes only if the problematic setting is first in the config file. Also the attached patch probably helps?

why i'm always that lucky to hit this weird bugs ???? :)
mail_debug was really the first option on dovecot.conf. i've moved base_dir to the first option and deliver works just fine, even having mail_debug = no ......
well ... dovecot LDA is running and will be, from now on, my official delivery agent !!! I'm ready to try out that patch you commited to enable lda zlib compression .... but after patching and compiling, i cannot start dovecot anymore. I've just sent you an email some hours ago with that .... i dont know what to do by now, i'm stuck on that.
