dovecot - Feb 2013 - Out of memory after upgrading to dovecot 2.0.21

Hello,

I've upgraded our servers and now dovecot seems to be running out of 
memory when accessing my own mailbox (and only mine, which is in a way 
pretty fortunate):

dovecot: imap(abelard-a): Error: mmap() failed with file 
/vmail/a/b/abelard-a/dovecot.index.cache: Cannot allocate memory

imap(abelard-a): Fatal: pool_system_realloc(131072): Out of memory

/vmail/a/b/abelard-a/dovecot.index.cache is 224MB big and my mailbox is 
72% full of 8GB.

any idea of what is happening?

Thanks in advance,

Arnaud

Hrm... exactly when I pressed sent, dovecot started giving me more 
information:

master: Error: service(imap): child 22324 returned error 83 (Out of 
memory (service imap { vsz_limit=256 MB }, you may need to increase it))

Is that why the imap processes were running out of memory or is that 
just another symptom of the same problem? How come we never had that 
problem with the older version of dovecot 2.0 (sorry, i can't remember 
which one we were running...).

Arnaud
