I've only heard it happening with some self-compiled OpenSSL versions (Arch/Gentoo?), so I don't see this as especially critical issue. But I'm planning on v2.2.17 release sometimes soon anyway for other reasons.

BTW. I wonder why the bug is officially in Dovecot when it was OpenSSL's new version that started causing the crash.. I wonder how many other software breaks with new OpenSSL.
