As already diagnosed by Richard going from byacc 20070509-1.1 to 20080826-1 is exactly what triggers the bug. Perhaps there is a regression in byacc? As a hotfix for dovecot could switch to bison instead of byacc. - A simple switch of the b-d will do the trick. On a sidenote dovecot's ./configure prefers bison over byacc, this is why dovecot built successfully on sparc. http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=dovecot;ver=1%3A1.0.15-2.1;arch=sparc;stamp=1224678599 cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
