dovecot - Feb 2009 - Dovecot 1.1.11 segfaults on auth configuration error

Hi,

i have compiled & packaged Dovecot 1.1.11 on Solaris 8 x86 with Sun
Studio 11 and installed the result on Solaris 10 x86 zone.

When i now configure auth mechanisms other than "login" or
"plain" while
only providing pam as the passdb, Dovecot segfaults on startup. I know
that my configuration is wrong here, but i guess this still qualifies
as a bug. Remedy would be appreciated.

Please let me know in case there is any other information required
to nail down the culprit. Thanks.

This should fix it? http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/bdc5391e52df

Wow, that was quick ... It does, indeed. Thanks, Timo.
