I'm really confused, then. I've been rebuilding Fedora Core packages for
RHEL4 since MySQL support was missing from the original x86_64 RHEL4
packages, but I'm having many issues.

For instance in /var/log/maillog :

Apr  3 12:36:11 s1 dovecot: pop3(user at domain): ^GUnexpected eof
found when reading file 'UNOPENED' (Errcode: 0)
Apr  3 12:36:11 s1 dovecot: pop3(user at domain): Disconnected: Logged out
top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/40, size=1526974

And some (most) emails get truncated when they are downloaded by the users.

This is with an i386 package. Using the exact same configuration file with
an x86_64 package, dovecot segfaults while trying to read the
configuration file :

[root at s1 ~]# dovecot
Unexpected eof found when reading file 'UNOPENED' (Errcode: 0)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[...]

#10 0x0000007fbffffbf5 in ?? ()
#11 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

I am missing a lot of debugging symbols apparently, although I have the
dovecot ones.

I've tried moving the tls specific files out of the way, but the same
happens with the main libc.so.6.

Any hints welcome...
