1.0.rc2 on Debian Sarge with 2.6.15 kernel.

I see in my logs errors listed by Joseph and also:

Jul 10 13:52:35 mailserv dovecot: imap-login: file ioloop.c: line 22 
(io_add): assertion failed: (fd >= 0)
Jul 10 13:52:35 mailserv dovecot: child 2451 (login) killed with signal 6
...
Jul 10 16:02:22 mailserv dovecot: IMAP(user1): Corrupted transaction log 
file /var/mail/user1/.propuri.29-06_Q01388458-15/dovecot.index.log: 
Append with UID 1, but next_uid = 20
...
Jul 10 16:23:18 mailserv dovecot: IMAP(user2): Corrupted index cache 
file /var/mail/user12/.Sent/dovecot.index.cache: record points outside file

How bad is this?
