dovecot - Jan 2005 - istream-limit.c - assertion failed

dovecot: Jan 14 12:25:49 Error: IMAP(xxxuser): file istream-limit.c:
line 85 (_seek): assertion failed: (v_offset <= lstream->v_size)

That error message is generated when squirrelmail 1.4.4-rc1 attempts to
access this peculiar message partially quoted below.  It doesn't happen
(after copying the message to our testing account) accessing it through
squirrelmail now.  But it did.

The server is running test61 configured --without-pop3d
--with-ssl=openssl and --disable-ipv6 and running on FreeBSD 5.2.1.

I'm not sure if this bit of a message is useful, but I have seen that
error message in dovecot's log more than just this once.

Thanks,
Derek

I think this is the same problem I was having, try this..

After running configure and before doing a make, edit config.h:

/* Define if you have FreeBSD-compatible sendfile() */
/* #define HAVE_FREEBSD_SENDFILE */
^^                               ^^

Comment out the define for FreeBSD as above and do a make
and install.

Please report your results..

Yes, that seems to eliminate the error on our server.  It has been 3 days
without seeing it.

Thanks!
