And now, the stage dir looks like this

My question is, what do the files in the stage. dir mean? Are those mails lost, I mean not delivered to mailboxes? I should I deal with them?
It means LMTPd crashed in the middle of an APPEND (the segfaults you're seeing). If your MTA is sane, it will redeliver.
The patch that avoids dropping these won't necessarally work in this case, it only works if an unexpected fatal() happens.
Can you get a backtrace of one of the core files?
I don't have any core files. I have now stopped cyrus-imapd and did
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 7168 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-master -d
but now core files anywhere.
How again do I get them?
Does the cyrus user have write access to whatever directory you started master in? You may also find cores in user mailbox directories.
