[Dovecot] IMAP can't read inbox: istream_raw_mbox_get_body_size assertion failed
Yesterday, I upgraded my debian packages from 0.99.14 to 0.99.20050712-2. IMAP service has not been reliable since, and I was seeing crashes with one user.
I tried deleting the user's .subscriptions and .imap folders, and forcing the client (Mac OS X's Mail.app) to redownload everything, but that resulted in an empty inbox.
Here's what I have:
# dpkg -l dovecot* Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-=====================-=====================-========================================================== ii dovecot 0.99.14-1 dummy package for upgrades to dovecot IMAP and POP3 server ii dovecot-common 0.99.20050712-2 secure mail server that supports mbox and maildir mailboxe ii dovecot-imapd 0.99.20050712-2 secure IMAP server that supports mbox and maildir mailboxe ii dovecot-pop3d 0.99.20050712-2 secure POP3 server that supports mbox and maildir mailboxe
Here's what's in mail.log:

I got a core dump. Here it is:

I downgraded to 0.99.14 and put in the old configuration file and it seems to be working now.
What's going on?

Already replied into Debian bug report, here's to everyone:
This problem most likely is caused by CR characters in linefeeds in the mbox file. 1.0-stable releases don't handle that, latest 1.0-test does.. I'll try to put out 1.0alpha release out soon, maybe Debian will start using that too :)
On friday I downgraded dovecot to stable 0.99.14-1, because the testing package just didn't work. See the message I sent to this list on thurday of last week.
