Hi I'm getting segmentation fault in Dovecot 2.2.11. This happens when trying to do a user lookup by "doveadm user". The machine is running Arch Linux on i686 on ext3. dovecot -n (I took this when running the previous version that works) # 2.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.12.9-x86-linode56 i686 auth_cache_size = 32 k default_client_limit = 500 default_process_limit = 50 default_vsz_limit = 128 M log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_gid = vmail mail_location = sdbox:~/sdbox mail_privileged_group = mail mail_uid = vmail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Archive { auto = create special_use = \Archive } mailbox Drafts { auto = create special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = create special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = create special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = create special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/deny-users deny = yes driver = passwd-file } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/master-users driver = passwd-file master = yes pass = yes } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_max_script_size = 1M sieve_quota_max_scripts = 10 sieve_quota_max_storage = 10M } postmaster_address = postmaster@<domain> protocols = imap lmtp sieve service auth-worker { user = $default_internal_user } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } user = $default_internal_user } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } process_min_avail = 1 service_count = 1 vsz_limit = 64 M } service imap { process_limit = 256 } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } user = vmail } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } service_count = 1 vsz_limit = 64 M } service managesieve { process_limit = 128 } ssl = required ssl_ca = </etc/ssl/myCA/certs/ca.cert ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/myCA/certs/imap.cert ssl_key = </etc/ssl/myCA/private/imap.key userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%n driver = static } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " sieve" } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 30 } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " sieve" postmaster_address = postmaster@<domain> } This is the error I get: # doveadm user ... doveadm(root): Error: userdb lookup(...): Disconnected unexpectedly field value This appears in logs: Mar 08 00:18:40 kernel: auth[15182]: segfault at 4 ip 0805dbbd sp bfd87ec0 error 4 in auth[8048000+4b000] Mar 08 00:18:40 dovecot[15177]: auth: Fatal: master: service(auth): child 15182 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Mar 08 00:18:40 systemd-coredump[15227]: Process 15182 (auth) dumped core.
