Then a status update of my life in case you're interested:

I got in pretty much everywhere I applied for: CS and biotech in Helsinki university and biotech in Tampere university. For Helsinki's biochem I'm the first in the waiting list, which means I almost certainly would get in there too.

Hey Timo, congratulations! Good luck with your bichem/biotech studies. IMHO, molecular biology is a really interesting field but it'll make your head spin if you don't keep up with the pace of the technology. Do yourself a favor and volunteer in a suitable professor's lab so you get a good idea of life in the fast lane ;-)

Hi Timo,

I've done several fixes since my original RC1 status mail.

Most importantly I noticed that SEARCH command has been somewhat broken for a long time if the search condition contained OR or NOT conditions. Then again fixing that caused Dovecot to assert-crash for some searches. That should be fixed now. Hopefully I didn't break the SEARCH in other ways while doing this..

So, again, please test the latest CVS or the latest nightly snapshot from http://dovecot.org/nightly/

Especially I'm interested in:

• Does SEARCH work correctly?
• Does ioloop checks now work properly? There were mails about it being broken with kqueue and epoll.

Using --with-ioloop=epoll used to work but now I'm seeing this in config.log:

The system is a Fedora devel (FC6 test1) release on x86_64 with dovecot-cvs/branch. Not sure when it started happening but I can try some other older versions if that's any use in narrowing it all down.

Congratulations on your progress with getting into University.

I'll keep my current job so this shouldn't affect the commercial side of Dovecot.

OK, I'll bite--what is the "commercial side of Dovecot"?

You're such a mystery! :)

About epoll, I only read this once and the poster didn't answer when I asked what is wrong with it. I use epoll and had no single problem with it since the last fix.

but something else:

rawlog in:
