as far as i follow the changelogs the coverity-fixes went only to master

maybe some of the few "closing leak" commits in 3.1-tree are coming from
there as cherry-pick and not visible in the commit-comment

IMHO the coverity scan should go completly over 3.1-tree because it's
possible that some of these fixes cover rare situations which are hard
to reproduce and there is a chance to get them fixed implicitly

trying to reproduce and analyze them which becomes are hard piece of work
without knowing how to simulate non-generic load with mixed concurrent
clients all having different latency

our machine is running fine with abac5b58c94f270e534320ff264054bc79530b78
while a few days ago it crashed once after a reboot with OOM and 30 minutes
later i restarted dbmail-imapd manually because it had again 1300 MB real
memory allocated, well that was 2 days ago and now it stays between 180 and
290 MB real memory, so no way to explain the OOM and high-allocation events

what i have learned is that some bugs are one visible short after reboot
the machine followed by concurrent load, the first spin-lock in august i
tried to repdroduce over 10 hours and twice after a reboot of my test-VM
it was easy to trigger - finally the same for the OOM, now as the machine
is running for a longer time it does not happen again
