I guess they all come from the same large mailbox. In 1.2.0b1, the method for reading data from a message and converting to CRLF changed. It might well be that there is a problem with this. Could you attach to one of the hanging bincimapd processes with gdb for me? gdb <path> <pid> Then do a backtrace with "bt" and paste the output to the list. Note that if the gdb backtrace doesn't contain line numbers, you would have to compile bincimapd with debug info/not strip the binaries. It's also interesting to know what files the processes have open - under /proc/<pid>/fd you will find a list. You could copy the involved files into a test Maildir folder and see if you can reproduce the problem there. I'm sure we can find the bug quite fast, since the diff between 1.1.9 and 1.2.0b1 isn't very big. :-) Andy -- Andreas Aardal Hanssen | http://www.andreas.hanssen.name/gpg Author of Binc IMAP | "It is better not to do something | than to do it poorly."
