Folks-

Hans Morten Kind was kind enough to confirm the issue I'm having with large mailboxes and the mail-cache-fields.c file (line 26: unreached error in logs when the imap process crashes out on large Maildirs). Has anyone implemented a fix for this that is both tested and applicable without making manual code changes myself, since I don't trust myself slashing about in source files? Ideally, has this problem been noted for fixing in a newer version?

Failing that, if I downgrade to the 0.99 version shipped with RHEL4, has anyone found that to be more reliable? I used the 1.0rc10 in order to gain access to the 'namespace' conf directives so that upgrading from our current Courier Maildir installations would be as seamless as possible, but at the moment, I'm looking at having to roll back to Courier in order to fix this (and the next) problem.

Also, we have found that using 1.0rc10 on RHEL4, using pam-ldap for account info and pam-krb for auth, has resulted in the eventual inaccessability of mail due to many zombied and unresponsive dovecot-auth processes. Restarting dovecot the first few times it becomes unresponsive will fix the problem, presumably by instantiating new auth procs, but eventually this no longer works since the restart doesn't actually kill off the zombied auth procs and the socket stops responding.

Has anyone run into this problem?

Thanks,

J.B. Zimmerman

RHEL4AS, fully updated, using the AT rpms: dovecot-1.0-0_27.rc10.el4.at
