Cool, thanks.

Yup.  The corrupted files actually contain dot-lock data  
(pid:hostname) followed by a bunch of nulls.  For instance, a mail  
file with an S=3368 flag in the file name contains  
"12345:mail.example.com" (22 bytes) followed by 3346 nulls.  I'm  
unfamiliar with how dovecot uses dot-lock files; is this more likely  
to be dovecot's fault or a disk corruption?
