dovecot - Mar 2005 - Dovecot 64-bit and Pine error

Hi all,

I compiled a 64-bit Dovecot stable (13-03-2005) version on a Solaris 9 box 
with gcc
3.4.2. OpenSSL and libiconv are compiled 64-bit also. The configure I use:

	export CPPFLAGS="-m64 -I/var/tmp/openssl/include"
	export LDFLAGS="-m64 -L/var/tmp/openssl/lib"

	./configure \
	        --prefix=/opt/dovecot                   \
	        --sysconfdir=/etc/opt/dovecot           \
	        --disable-shared                        \
	        --with-libiconv-prefix=/var/tmp/iconv   \
	        --without-passwd-file                   \
	        --without-shadow                        \
	        --without-vpopmail                      \
	        --without-static-userdb                 \
	        --with-ssl=openssl                      \
	        --with-ssldir=/etc/opt/dovecot/cert     \
	        --without-pop3d

Dovecot is running fine, all email clients are running fine, except for 
Pine (4.62).
When saving a mail to another IMAP mailbox, Pine report an error message and
the logfile shows:

	Mar 14 16:33:28 tbox dovecot: [ID 107833 local1.error] IMAP(tstud1): 
utime(/var/tmp/var_mailstore/
	t/tstud1/.Drafts/tmp/1110814408.P2681Q0M979308.tbox) failed: Value too 
large for defined data type

Compiling Dovecot in 32-bit, saving mail within Pine is doing just fine.

I guess this is caused by maildir-save.c, line 219. Is this a bug in 
Solaris or Dovecot?

Looks like it's a bug in utc_mktime() function which is based on code 
from Cyrus.. And looks like they've since figured out a way to fix it:

+       /* Some gmtime() implementations are broken and will return
+        * NULL for time_ts larger than 40 bits even on 64-bit platforms
+        * so we'll just cap it at 40 bits */
+       if(bits > 40) bits = 40;

I'll implement a similar fix. If you change TIME_T_MAX_BITS in config.h 
to 40 it should work?

I downloaded and compiled dovecot-1.0-stable 15-03-2005 and the fix works :-)

Thanks Timo!
