dovecot - Oct 2006 - Out of memory errors

Do these errors indicate a memory leak?  I see them in the logs a few times per
day on each of our servers, running CVS dovecot-20060924...

Oct  8 22:21:30 mail38b dovecot: auth(default): block_alloc(): Out of memory
Oct  8 22:21:30 mail38b dovecot: child 6391 (auth) returned error 83 (Out of
memory)
Oct  9 20:05:05 mail38b dovecot: auth(default): pool_system_realloc(): Out of
memory
Oct  9 20:05:05 mail38b dovecot: child 655 (auth) returned error 83 (Out of
memory)

Could be. What passdb and userdb are you using? Are you using anything
else than plaintext auth?

We are using ldap and passwd:

  passdb ldap {
    args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf
  }
  userdb ldap {
    args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf
  }
  passdb passwd-file {
    args = /etc/dovecot-master.passwd
    master = yes
  }

And we are only using plain-text auth.

Wasn't me, but I would definitely run such a patch to help track down the
source.
