I have updated to version 2.4 (I believe that is the last stable now). I see this in my syslog after restating the service: > kernel: ctl_cyrusdb[2477]: segfault at 0 ip b72be49a sp bfa96f5c error 6 in > libc-2.13.so[b724a000+153000] > kernel: cyr_expire[2486]: segfault at 0 ip b72ae49a sp bf979f2c error 6 in > libc-2.13.so[b723a000+153000] > cyrus/master[2474]: process 2477 exited, signaled to death by 11 > cyrus/master[2474]: process 2486 exited, signaled to death by 11 > cyrus/imap[5705]: executed > cyrus/imap[5705]: login: tanja.home [192.168.1.11] dmitry plain+TLS User > logged in > kernel: [254135.387736] imapd[5705]: segfault at 0 ip b720a49a sp bfb006bc > error 6 in libc-2.13.so[b7196000+153000] > cyrus/master[5681]: process 5705 exited, signaled to death by 11 > cyrus/master[5681]: service imap pid 5705 in BUSY state: terminated abnormally Obviously, IMAP does not work... I have recompiled Cyrus with my patch applied, and it started to work. What I also did: - Removed /var/lib/cyrus/db/* - Reset the annotations.db, deliver.db, tls_sessions.db to empty DB (they all have size 144 bytes) - Re-imported mailboxes.db from flatfile. I hope that procedure is (almost) enough to insure the is no binary incompatibles / corruptions left. Then for the matter of experiment I installed the original Debian binaries from the distro (cyrus-imapd-2.4_2.4.9-1_i386), restarted Cyrus (/etc/init.d/cyrus-imapd restart) ... and it start segfaulting again!!! I strongly believe that the problem occurs because of invalid or corrupted data but I also think that the software like IMAP server should check the input data for correctness. No way for segfault! -- With best regards, Dmitry
