dovecot - Jan 2012 - assertion failed in mail-index.c

Hi,

I have this:
Jan 04 15:55:21 pop3(jfm47): Panic: file mail-index.c: line 257 
(mail_index_keyword_lookup_or_create): assertion failed: (*keyword !=
'\0')
Jan 04 15:55:21 master: Error: service(pop3): child 3391 killed with 
signal 6 (core not dumped - set service pop3 { drop_priv_before_exec=yes })
I don't know why this happened, but wouldn't be the "self
healing" (seen
in the wiki I think :) kick in here?
I mean it's even better to completely remove the index than dying and 
make the mailbox inaccessible.

Thanks,

See if http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/raw-rev/5ef791398c8c helps. If
not, I'd need a gdb backtrace to find out what is causing it:
