Dovecot 2.3.17 on FreeBSD 12.2 panic

Mon Jan 10 03:32:40 UTC 2022

Hello,

I have dovecot 2.3.17 running on FreeBSD 12.2 and it keeps panicking:

Jan 10 03:04:07 strida dovecot[55198]: imap(xistence at 0x58.com)<56382><dx4KlzHVQecmAQKCQwA50VytdgLnsQSr>: Panic: file array.c: line 10 (array_idx_modifiable_i): assertion failed: (idx < array->buffer->used / array->element_size)

Ignore the core not dumped, this is happening over and over, and I got one process to core dump:

I was able to generate a core dump by issue a doveadm command too:

While reading about fts/fts_squat I came across the page noting it was deprecated. I am running a mail server for myself, and have avoided installing Solr this entire time, but I guess its time to upgrade.

In the mean time hopefully this core dump can help figure out what is going on.
