[Dovecot] deliver panics when handling mails bigger than some kByte

Hi,

i've just upgraded to dovecot-1.2.8 (from 1.2.4) and do now get the
following errors when deliver gets hands on mails with some attachments.

# tail -n 1 /var/log/messages
Dec 14 19:00:36 mail3 dovecot: deliver(user): Panic: file istream.c:
line 96 (i_stream_read): assertion failed: (stream->eof)

The MTA is postfix running inside a FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE jail. The homes
where deliver should put mails are mounted via NFS. As it works with 
small attachments perhaps this is related to the message size.

However i don't get the "stale NFS file handle" error any more which i did
under 1.2.4 (See thread that begins with:
Message-ID: <20091016122519.GC6309 at emmi.physik-pool.tu-berlin.de> )

Greetings,
Leon
