Timo,

The comments in dovecot-example.conf regarding lock_method
for Solaris users needs to note your change.  Your changelog
says:

- Default lock_method changed to flock instead of the old fcntl.
Solaris users will need to set it back to fcntl. This makes sure that
Dovecot's indexes aren't accidentally used with NFS.

But there is no warning about this in the file for Solaris
users.  There should be; it will bite somebody later.
