Fatal: master: service(imap): child 20258 killed with signal 6 (core not dumped - set service imap { drop_priv_before_exec=yes })

[Maciej Uhlig]

Just a remark: this issue (Panic: file buffer.c: line 307
(buffer_set_used_size): assertion failed: (used_size <= buf->alloc)) was
reported by me on 2014-01-11 on 2.2.10, it still occurs on 2.2.13.
Indeed, we also switched from sparc server to x86. We also removed all
the dovecot indexes. We use maildir only. However, the issue persists
and I can observe this panic almost every day.

Thanks.
