[Dovecot] Sig11 and some corrupted indexes after 1.0-stable -> 1.0.alpha1
I just upgraded my production box from 1.0-stable to 1.0.alpha1. I've noted some new errors in my dovecot logs: Aug 28 23:23:56 cliff dovecot: IMAP(rsferra): Corrupted index cache file /mail/mcad.edu/rsferra/Maildir/.Sent Items/dovecot.index.cache: indexid changed Aug 28 23:33:57 cliff dovecot: IMAP(acarr): Corrupted transaction log file /mail/mcad.edu/acarr/Maildir/.Deleted Messages/dovecot.index.log: unexpected end of file while reading header I'm not too worried about those, as I'm hoping they'll go away once all the indexes have been rebuilt. However, these are a bit more disconcerting: Aug 29 09:07:35 cliff dovecot: child 22484 (imap) killed with signal 11 Aug 29 09:07:36 cliff dovecot: child 22488 (imap) killed with signal 11 I don't see any other errors in the logs around those messages. Platform: Gentoo 2005.1, 2.6.10 SMP kernel, mail stored on XFS file system Any thoughts? -Ben

Squirrelmail reported this: ERROR : Connection dropped by imap-server. Query: COPY 243 "Trash" I asked him to reproduce this while watching the logs. As soon as he deleted the message (and squirrelmail attempted to move it to the "Trash" folder) I saw one of the above entries. This is the message in question: http://cliff.mcad.edu/dovecot_bad_message.txt It seemed to be happening with other messages, too, but that's the only one I identified absolutely. I dropped back to 1.0-stable and the segfaults stopped and IMAP became speedy again. -Ben
