dovecot - Apr 2006 - Bug in new mail-index-transaction.c

These changes apparently broke something:

What I am seeing is when there are messages that have keywords set,
Dovecot occasionally hangs while building the index and/or uidlist.  It
leaves a lock file "dovecot-uidlist.lock" around and the IMAP process
reading that folder never completes successfully.  To fix it, I have have
to rename the message files to remove the keyword.  For example:

$ mv 1146246349.P365Q2.mail1b.r1.iad.emailsrvr.com:2,Sa
1146246349.P365Q2.mail1b.r1.iad.emailsrvr.com:2,S

I reverted back to the copy of src/lib-index/mail-index-transaction.c from
the 4/14/2006 CVS snapshot, and this problem completely went away.  And
mailboxes that were encountering the .lock problem suddenly worked again.

If there is any additional information that you need in order to
troubleshoot this bug, please let me know and I'll be happy to send it.

Could you check if this still happens? I did pretty large changes to
that part of code.

I guess I should update my imaptest to update flags/keywords too so I
could easily test these kind of problems too..
