dovecot - Sep 2005 - 1.0alpha1: corrupted cache file complaints?

Hi,

I have seen the following in my syslogs for 1.0alpha1:

Corrupted index cache file [filename]: record points outside file
and
: indexid changed
: record list is circular
: Cache record offset 9772 points outside file
: invalid record size

Are these errors minor?  Major?  Self-healing?  Should the
cache files be blown away to fix these errors?

They are self-healing and invisible to users. The bug that caused most
of these was fixed in CVS a week or so ago. If any of these happen
afters after upgrading, I'd like to know. I'll release alpha2 soon.
