Hi,
we are running 2.2.10 under RHEL 3:

Today I found the following error messages in our logwatch output:
Dec 11 15:01:22 lvr13 sieve[24368]: DBERROR db4: Database handles open during environment close
Dec 11 15:01:22 lvr13 sieve[24368]: DBERROR: error exiting application: Invalid argument

When I investigated what had happened, I found that all four instances were one of our users trying to install a sieve script that had syntax errors. I'm going to show one of those four attempts:
Dec 11 15:41:37 lvr13 sieve[4704]: login: xxxxxx DIGEST-MD5+TLS User logged in
ec 11 15:41:37 lvr13 sieve[4704]: line 6: parse error, unexpected ';'

Dec 11 15:42:10 lvr13 sieve[4704]: DBERROR: error exiting application: Invalid argument
There are two funny things going on.
1. All the syslog lines from the sieve parser replace the initial character with a space.
2. The database handles apparently aren't closed properly after a syntax error.
I haven't yet looked at the source, I'm just reporting my observation.
