Subject: help needed with imapd 3.6BETA on Solaris 2.4

Hello,

we compiled imapd 3.6 BETA on a sun with solaris 2.4.

It is possible to read the mailbox. But when the mailbox (/var/mail/user)
on the server has to be written to disk after usage the mailbox content
gets garbled.

We believe that the Problem is in the routine
bezerk_write_message in the file c-client/bezerk.c.
We believe that the writev systemcall causes the problem.

We get the following messages:

Jul 11 10:24:23 harry imapd[17064]: Retrying after disk error user=testuser
host=arielle.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE mbx=/var/mail/testuser: Invalid argument

Is this a known problem? Are there bug-fixes, workarounds or patches?

Sincerely,

Guido Bunsen
