We've had this reoccur twice this week. In both cases, it seems to hit a swath of machines all within a few minutes. For some reason it's been limited to the master serving pop3 only. In all cases, the logging socket at fd 5 had gone missing.
I haven't applied the fd leak detection patch, but I do have lsof output and a core file available here: http://uoregon.edu/~brandond/dovecot-1.2.6/ Timo, is there anything else I can collect to assist in debugging this? I'd rather not go back to 1.2.4, but my coworkers are becoming annoyed at having to restart the master processes every few days. -Brad
