I 'hg bisect'ed between 1.1.beta3 and the tip with this as my test:

sh autogen.sh && ./configure && make && sudo make install && echo 'lol SELECT pinerc' | dovecot --exec-mail imap

If it didn't segfault, I would tell hg 'hg bisect good'; if it did, I did 
'hg bisect bad'.  At the end of it all, hg told me:

paulproteus at alchemy:~/dnlds/dovecot $ hg bisect good
The first bad revision is:
changeset:   6599:a6f51026b969
branch:      HEAD
user:        Timo Sirainen <tss at iki.fi>
date:        Sun Oct 21 18:54:32 2007 +0300
summary:     Added maildir_uidlist_init_readonly() and 
maildir_uidlist_get_uid().

I haven't actually examined this changeset (yet? perhaps tomorrow), but 
hopefully finding it as the problem will help figure out what's up.

This was my first VCS-coordinated bisection.  Yippee!
