I've recently manipulated the contents of my maildir, changing the content
of some mail files (mime handling and such...). This broke dovecot since it
expected different filesizes while reading contents of files that were
previously indexed. Therefore dovecot returned some assert like this:
imap(jwk at bug.it): file istream.c: line 163 (i_stream_seek): assertion
failed: (v_offset <= stream->v_size)
Obviously, the solution was to remove indices and have dovecot recreate
them. I suppose it would be more "polite" to have this kind of
routines
(i_stream_seek etc) handle this case by requesting indices recreation for
indices that are no longer "real", instead of just dropping connection
with
some "internal error" message.
