Hi,
I could set up a cloned machine with a specific big mailbox causing core dump every time squatter tries to rebuild the index.
So I rebuilt the squatter binary with debug info (-g) and here is the gdb back trace for 2.5.11 sources:

I don't know if this is the same reason why cyrus.squat is always rebuilt from scratch on many big mailboxes.
Hope this may help close this long awaited resolution.
I can patch & rebuild binaries easily on this cloned test machine, if you can give me directions on where the problem may be.
Thanks!
