Dovecot v1.1.alpha4 imap after some time stops responding.
It can not be restarted as
/etc/init.d/dovecot restart
killall imap
also does not help
killall -9 imap
and then restart does help
in log I see message (repeted periodically) that
Sep 12 09:50:02 localhost postfix/local[22533]: C7057753B
The problem persists with mbox inbox folders in v1.1.alpha4.
I get a stalled process "imap" which can not be killed by
killall imap
only by
killall -9 imap
This process takes a lock of user mailbox thus prevents the user to
read/send mail.
Other users are OK
Vladislav Malys
get exclusive lock of user mailbox.
Also, this may somekind help, the imap process taking lock can not be
killed by -15 signal, only by -9.
