Selinux wasn't running. I can reproduce the problem with this setup:
- restore the maildir with the broken index.cache - run `/usr/bin/doveadm -D expunge -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 1w` in an infinite loop - use horde webmail to access the mail with IMAP - randomly display messages I could reproduce the problem on: Linux-2.6.37-hardened-r7 Linux-2.6.39-hardened-r8 Linux-3.0.4-hardened-r5 Linux-3.0.6-gentoo Linux-3.1.4-gentoo However I failed to reproduce the problem on: Linux-2.6.36-hardened-r9 So it seems it was introduced in 2.6.37. I'm going to inspect it later on. By wishing you a God blessed merry Christmas I thank you for the support ;) On Fri, Dec 23, 2011 at 11:36 AM, Stan Hoeppner <s...@hardwarefreak.com>wrote: > On 12/23/2011 4:12 AM, hydra wrote: > > Yes, it is reproducible. > > > > About the file, I have tarred up the original maildir before I deleted > the > > dovecot.index.cache, so when I try to bring in the original file, a 'cat' > > does no harm.
