However, I think a more simple way to recreate the problem is to simply
delete an existing maildir (with existing indexes) and send a message to
it. This shows the behavior every time on my system. I'll attach a tar
of all files in the index dir to this email though.
Nope, can't reproduce any problems.. Can you try the latest snapshot?
Maybe these have been fixed already.

No dice, problem still happens. I'll provide some extra info at the
bottom of this, everything I can think of that may be of any interest. I
can get you access to this machine if it comes down to that. Just to
restate, to test the nightly build I followed this procedure:
Stopped existing dovecot process.
Built dovecot with this: ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/dovecot
--with-mysql --with-ioloop=epoll
make install
start dovecot
rm -rf /var/indexes/*
rm -rf /var/mailstore/.../Maildir (for the test account)
send test message
rm -rf /var/mailstore/.../Maildir
send test message (corruption error, temporary failure to postfix, but
message delivered)
Result is the same every time I repeat that process. So, I already gave
my configure options (tried without specifying an ioloop, resulting in
poll being used instead, with no effect). Here is the summary after
configure runs:
Install prefix ...................... : /usr/local
File offsets ........................ : 64bit
I/O loop method ..................... : epoll
File change notification method ..... : dnotify
Building with SSL support ........... : yes (OpenSSL)
Building with IPv6 support .......... : yes
Building with pop3 server ........... : yes
Building with mail delivery agent .. : yes
Building with GSSAPI support ........ : no
Building with user database modules . : static prefetch passwd
passwd-file checkpassword sql (modules)
Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file shadow
checkpassword sql (modules)
Building with SQL drivers ............: mysql
The machine is an AMD 64 running CentOS 4.4.
