dovecot-0.99.10.5-0.FC2

I have had a report from a user that when accessing their inbox, the connection is suddenly dropped. Dovecot reports the following:-

imap(user): file buffer.c: line 357 (buffer_set_start_pos): assertion failed: (abs_pos <= I_MIN(buf->used, buf->limit))

From searching the list, I found an indication that it is a problem with an individual message. As the user has rather a large number of emails, how can I isolate the message?

I'll release 0.99.11 soon which fixes this. Or use this patch: --- dovecot-0.99.10.9.orig/src/lib-imap/imap-base-subject.c 2003-11-08 17:47:43.000000000 +0200 +++ dovecot-0.99.10.9/src/lib-imap/imap-base-subject.c 2004-09-02 13:29:52.000000000 +0300 @@ -149,7 +149,7 @@ if (*data == ' ') { /* independent from checks below - always removed */ - data++; + data++; orig_data++; buffer_set_start_pos(buf, buffer_get_start_pos(buf)+1); ret = TRUE; }
