There's really no way to know why this happens without a gdb
backtrace.
See http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html
# dovecot -n
# 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
It's also possible that it has already been fixed in newer versions.
Hi Timo,
Small update on this: In 6 months the error occurred only once. The bug
was not reproducible.
There was a BIOS update for IBM servers which fixes the following
microcode error:
- Fixed : Intel microcode fix for a potential memory addressing error
in 64-bit
operating mode; it could cause page fault, data loss, data
corruption
or other unpredictable system behavior.
So I am assuming that it was not a Dovecot bug.
Best regards,
Morten
