I'm not sure when this happened.

In yesterday dovecot-1.1 hg if pop3 is compiled with DEBUG defined, it needs GDB=1 otherwise it ends with: Panic: Leaked file fd 4: dev 104.2 inode 3342766

Not sure if this can be caused by the fact that I call pop3 with a bash script.

protocol pop3 { mail_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3.sh

inside I've something like if [ xid -un = "xmyuser" -o xid -un = "xtestdovecot" ] then exec /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-new-test-release else exec /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3
