Tnx, Todd. Worked. I've now got a core file. (I should have found out
about "ulimit" from www.dovecot.org before. Sorry about that...)

I'm not an expert on using gdb. What I get from running gdb on the
core-file is:

#0  0xb7ed483b in raise () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6

Is this enough information to get some expert's comments on this? ;-)

The core was a result from this assertion:

file mbox-sync.c: line 1332 (mbox_sync_update_index_header): assertion
failed: (sync_ctx->base_uid_validity != 0 || st->st_size == 0)

I've had other asserions before (as I've posted on the list), but not
after I've enabled core-dumps. I could post similar results from gdb if
I experience more of this, with other assertions...
