[Dovecot] Out of memory problem

Hi guys,

Running SuSe 9.3 with dovecot 1.0.alpha3 source installation.

One of the users has quite a lot of important email in a folder, but 
when he trys to view this folder, it either sits and waits, and then 
times out, or just logs out straight away.

Looking in the log(/var/log/mail), I'm getting the following error.

Feb  6 09:22:08 mail postfix/qmgr[27221]: 198B96D1CE: removed
Feb  6 09:22:08 mail dovecot: imap(ralphs): pool_system_malloc(): Out of 
memory
Feb  6 09:22:08 mail dovecot: child 23018 (imap) returned error 83 (Out 
of memory)

I've searched around on google for this error and haven't found anything 
useful as of yet.

My next step is to upgrade to the latest version of dovecot, but this is 
quite a large company, and I will need to wait until after hours to do 
the upgrade.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
