dovecot - Oct 2004 - Crash (segfault) while reading folder headers

Occasionally, while reading the headers of a folder, Dovecot crashes. 
The visible effect in my mail client is that it will tell me a folder
has a new message, but when I click on it, it will take forever to
load, and there will be no new messages.  When another message comes
in to that folder, the folder begins to work again.

I generated a core from the latest crash, and the gdb dump is included
below.  After generating the core file, I removed the .imap.index*
files from that folder, and it started working again.

I am using Fedora Core 1, with dovecot as an RPM (version
dovecot-0.99.10.5-0.FC1).  It's a Pentium 4 CPU.  Let me know if there
is any more information that would help you resolve this.

This has been fixed in 0.99.10.6, so I'd suggest upgrading to 0.99.11.
