I don't think so. This is strange since other users index directories
were created normally.

What is that partial sync about ?

You're right : that INBOX do have CR+LF linefeeds. I don't know where
they come from.

What can I do then ? Is there a way to work this around ?  Besides, do
you mean that I wouldn't have had this problem with a 1.0-tests ?

One other problem I forgot to mention :

when I switched back (because of that assertion failed problem) from
1.0-stable down to 0.99, my maillog file (I had chosen to log through
syslog) was flooded with such messages :

--
dovecot-auth: BUG: login gave a PID of existing connection
dovecot-auth: Login process 15 disconnected
--

--> I cannot understand how this can happen, since, I

  . shot down -stable
  . installed 0.99 instead
  . started 0.99

Thus clients faced a closed TCP connection.
