dovecot - Dec 2010 - dovecot-lda segfault

Hello,

dovecot-lda crashes with a segfault, if I run it as a user who has no 
mailbox, and no permission to create one.

stat("/var/mail/mailboxes/users", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096,
...}) = 0
getuid()                                = 21189
geteuid()                               = 21189
access("/var/mail/mailboxes/users", X_OK) = 0
getuid()                                = 21189
geteuid()                               = 21189
access("/var/mail/mailboxes/users", W_OK) = -1 EACCES (Permission
denied)
geteuid()                               = 21189
getegid()                               = 21189

Could you get gdb backtrace? Something like:

gdb --args dovecot-lda <parameters>
run
bt full

If that doesn't work, send your doveconf -n output and the command line
you used for dovecot-lda. (I couldn't reproduce this with a quick test,
so the crash could be pretty much anywhere.)
