Interesting hour, during which I got to exercise amanda's amrecover. I'd
committed Nik's fix message to a script, with a typu, and wiped the
whole MaryAnn, so I had to run amrecover, and recover the whole thing as
it existed about 2ish this morning. So I could be missing about 100
msgs that have come in since, or are we? The message I am replying to
was sent about an hour ago? Ghosts? DamnedifIknw.
Anyway the indices were nuked, kmail has renewed them, albeit w/o any
added marks. AND kmail has quit burning up a core in this old phenom.
Now, I had to change the ownership of two dir trees in /tmp before root
could run amrecover. So since amanda runs as amanda, I'd better check
that out. And amcheck seems to think its kewl.
But whats wrong with kmail? Why do I have to nuke ALL the index files to
make it happy again.

Back to a stable kmail, but it crashed about 2 secs after the first
start. With zero indices it took 1:31 to start, but its still using a
whole core at 100%, and the wc -l is growing by 10 or 20 almost
everytime I rerun the lsof to get a new count
gene@coyote:~$ lsof |grep Mail|grep .index|wc -l
220
gene@coyote:~$ lsof |grep Mail|grep .index|wc -l

And theres only about 41 directorys, but 2 of those have 16 and 18
subdirs so theres not quite 80 dirs all told.
but there are 70147 msgs if I did it right, looks low.
gene@coyote:~$ lsof |grep Mail|grep .index|wc -l

Ladies and Gentlemen, I think we have a bug.
> Back later with the results.

Over the last several days, kmail has gotten so unstable its not
usable. Now tdewallet has also died, I have submitted 20+ crash
reports, no reply, and I've no clue if it will even send this
message. How about some help or an acnowlegement of the problem.
I've rebooted, even re-installed all of kmail to no avail. I've
also run memtest about 3 full cycles, no errors.

Let me add a bit more info to this kmail thread.
I just changed kernels on this machine, from 4.9.0.9-rt to 4.9.0.9,
without the rt. Kmail always has a cow over to folders indices, so
I expected to get a message about spam and spam-hold which both get
touched by external scripts or by me moving messages around, but
even if a nuke all the index files and then start or restart kmail,
it has the rebuild done in 15 minutes or so.
But not this time. And lsof |grep index|wc -l shows its gone
berzackers: gene@coyote:~/PublicA$ lsof |grep Mail|wc -l
310
gene@coyote:~/PublicA$ lsof |grep Mail|wc -l
310
gene@coyote:~/PublicA$ lsof |grep index|wc -l
520
gene@coyote:~/PublicA$ lsof |grep index|wc -l
638
And it just keeps growing the number. So I'm going to stop it, and
nuke then all. Then restart and time it. Cheers, Gene
