Package: dovecot-imapd Version: 1:1.2.15-7 Severity: important Tags: upstream
Hi there! I firstly reported this bug to Gnus/Emacs, before discovering that actually the problem is Dovecot: To: bug-gnu-em...@gnu.org Subject: 24.0.50; [nnimap/Gnus] Dovecot panics trying to close mailboxes Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 22:12:14 +0200 Message-ID: <87pqlwtn1d....@gismo.pca.it> URL: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8959> --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- At least from 20110226 (emacs-snapshot_1:20110210-1 according to my dpkg.log) sometime while checking for new emails Gnus hangs on the message "nnimap read $KILOBYTES". The remote Dovecot log shows the following: ===== Jun 29 21:10:08 mantissa dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<luca.capello>, \ method=PLAIN, rip=[REMOVED], lip=[REMOVED, TLS Jun 29 21:10:10 mantissa dovecot: IMAP(luca.capello): Panic: Trying to close mailbox \ lists.Debian.pkg.CL-Debian with open transactions Jun 29 21:10:10 mantissa dovecot: IMAP(luca.capello): Raw backtrace: \ imap() [0x4a518a] -> imap() [0x4a51f3] -> imap() [0x4a48f6] -> \ imap() [0x46c5b4] -> imap() [0x420e15] -> imap(cmd_select_full+0xd1) [0x420f91] -> \ imap() [0x423a6d] -> imap() [0x423b4d] -> imap(client_handle_input+0x135) [0x423d75] -> \ imap(client_input+0x5c) [0x42462c] -> imap(io_loop_handler_run+0xbd) [0x4ad22d] -> \ imap(io_loop_run+0x18) [0x4ac6a8] -> imap(main+0x531) [0x42c371] -> \ /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xfd) [0x7fe5710aec4d] -> imap() [0x41c709] Jun 29 21:10:10 mantissa dovecot: dovecot: child 25848 (imap) killed with signal 6 \ (core dumps disabled) [...] --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- This problem was reported to the Dovecot upstream mailing list back in October 2010 and fixed upstream soon after: <http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3csmuvd4pdekg.fsf%40linuxpal.mit.edu%3e> <http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/b30af25c622d> I applied the patch to the Debian stable version and indeed since last Thursday, June 30, I have not experienced Dovecot panics anymore. The packages I used to test it are available at: <http://people.debian.org/~gismo/tmp/> I will send the patch as soon as this bug receives a number, please consider it for a stable update, since according to the above thread this is not specific to Gnus/Emacs (that is also the reason behind Severity: important).
