Dear Maintainer,
dovecot-fts-xapian crashes with "Memory too low (text) 'std::bad_alloc'" error when indexing large mailboxes.
I've compiled and tested 1.7.8 and 1.7.9 but it's not getting any better.
They introduce major bugs such as excessive debug logging regardless of verbosity configured.
I've patched that manually but the basic thing - indexing - does not work reliably.
It was not able to complete indexing of the mailbox (about 18K messages, 18GB) - it stuck on one message with 100% CPU usage (on all cores!) for hours,
probably an infinite loop.
This package is so buggy that it's useless.
Removed it and compiled dovecot-fts-flatcurve (1.0.2) instead (files to create a deb package are already in #1010868).
It simply works - indexed the mailbox without any problems in a couple of minutes!
