mail-storage.c:2473 assertion failed: (!ctx->unfinished) (related to antispam?)

Hey folks,

apologies for the useless subject on my original mail, forgot to update
it.

Two more bits of info. Here's the log output related to this crash:

dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<2014>, method=PLAIN, rip=217.122.126.195, lip=10.42.0.13, mpid=10569, TLS, session=<IsP37ypaFYHZen7D>
dovecot: imap(2014): Panic: file mail-storage.c: line 2473 (mailbox_copy_int): assertion failed: (!ctx->unfinished)
(I've omitted the raw backtrace)

And, I just discovered that (it seems that) whenever such a crash
happens, an empty /tmp/antispam-mail-xyz directory is created, which
makes me suspect that at least the antispam plugin is involved in these
imap sessions, and might the the one causing the crash. I'm running the
latest antispam version from Debian (2.0+20170109-1+b2, which also seems
to be the latest upstream).

Gr.

Matthijs
