dovecot - Aug 2005 - After Debian testing upgrade, dovecot doesn't work

Today I upgraded my Debian testing server (just personal testing server), 
and one of the updates was dovecot-common and dovecote-imapd. I passed 
through the dovecot.conf file changing things so that I would have similar 
features as before, and everything looked OK.

Now, after restarting, and all, I try to connect the the imap server with 
my user acount, and it passes OK, but when I try to see my INBOX folder 
the conection gets reset, and I have this in the mail.log file:

Aug 11 15:20:53 bugs dovecot: imap-login: Login: martin [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
Aug 11 15:20:54 bugs dovecot: child 8085 (imap) killed with signal 10

I erased the .imap folder in ~martin/mail/ but with no luck.

What happened, and how can I fix this.

bugs:/etc/dovecot# dpkg -l | grep dovecot

Are you using LDAP or SQL or somesuch?  The configuration files for these 
changed.

This is a bit strange. I don't remember hardly any bug reports about
imap-login process crashing. Could you do this while no-one is connected
to Dovecot:

gdb attach `pidof imap-login`
cont

then connect to Dovecot with IMAP client and you should see that gdb
says it has crashed. You may need to do this a few times if you have
multiple imap-login processes running. So, then say "bt" and
copy&paste
the result here.
