dovecot - Apr 2003 - 0.99.9-test5

- Fixed startup crashing in POP3 server

- Several fixes to opening index file which needs to be rebuilt. Before
it didn't always rebuild the index but just fallbacked to using only
memory, and that could have been quite slow since all mails in the
mailbox were opened and parsed.

- If there's nothing in mail_cache_fields, index rebuilding doesn't open
the file anymore. This should make in-memory indexes a lot faster than
before, but it could also mean some performance hits later. If client
wants to fetch all mails from the mailbox, the same thing has to be done
anyway.. This needs more thinking actually what is the optimal
behaviour.

- Support /etc/shadow-like file for passdb.

My initial impression is that this is working a lot better than the
last few test releases.  I am still seeing "Corrupted index" messages
in the logs for some users, but on the next login for that user, there
is no such message (so it looks like the indexes are indeed getting
fixed).

Also-- no more signal 11s.  yay!

It seems to have problems when calculating recent messages. When a mail
comes to a mailbox the recent count is sometimes an arbitrary number,
bigger than the actual messages that have arriven.
