  I did a little more checking to confirm that the filehandle being written
  to is dovecot.index.cache. 

Just to update, right now I am not seeing this issue, but I've made
a number of changes this weekend and something may have affected it.
I'll bring it up again if I see it, but still writing in chunks of
4 bytes seems suboptimal to me in any case but I won't care if it 
doesn't happen :)
