dovecot - Jul 2009 - Two different issues with dovecot 1.1.13

Hi Timo,

I'm using Debian backports.org dovecot-imapd, 1:1.1.13-2~bpo50+1. I've
got
two different issues, a reoccurring, seemingly harmless one about 
"Corrupted index cache file" (boring.txt)
  and one that went bonkers over the least few days (bt.txt) causing much 
spamming of the logs.

I've made bt.txt stop happening by just rm'ing dovecot.index* :
find Maildir/ -type f -name 'dovecot.index*' -print0 | xargs -0r rm
  ... which I realise may not be the most helpful thing to have done from 
your point of view.

Anyway I just wanted to let you know about both of these. If one or both 
are already known about or already fixed by a later version of Dovecot, 
great and sorry for the noise! If not, and you want any more information 
etc., let me know.

Many thanks,
Stu.

These are kind of annoying. Apparently they still happens in some
conditions, but I've really no idea how to reproduce/fix them. Anyway
I'm going to simplify the code in a few months, maybe after that there
will be no more cache corruption. :)

This was fixed in v1.1.16 with
