Dovecot 2.3.4 crashing on Solaris 10 - "Panic: output stream is missing error handling"

[Fabian Fritz]

Hi,

I just compiled Dovecot for Solaris 10 and try to run it now. Other
than setting a custom port, I did not add custom settings. When I
tried running doveconf for the first time, it crashed immediately:

doveconf -n
# 2.3.4 (): /export/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: SunOS 5.10 sun4u~~
# Hostname: merlin
service pop3-login {
  inet_listener pop3 {
    port = 1110
  }
}
submission_max_mail_size = 0
doveconf: Panic: output stream  is missing error handling
doveconf: Error: Raw backtrace: 0xff01b3a8 -> 0xff063b04 -> 0x1673c ->
0x1797c -> 0x14478
Abort (core dumped)

The same error appears when I run dovecot -F. Unfortunately I
currently don't have access to the core dumps (I might do later), but
I could run it with the Debugger with user process debugging enabled:

(This is the part when it crashes. I can provide the full output if requested)

truss -u "libdovecot" /export/dovecot/bin/doveconf -n

service pop3-login {
  inet_listener pop3 {
    port = 1110
  }

I have no idea about what that error means.

Thanks,
