Heya,

We are occasionally seeing core dumps with dovecot 2.2.10, which are 
mostly like this:

# dovecot -n is available here: http://pastebin.com/RE91aRi5

other raw traces are available here: http://pastebin.com/M1S33NYn

Would you recommend deleting all the index files or rather capturing 
core dump file for further analysis? Or maybe something completely 
different ;)

thank you in advance,

cheers, Jernej
