    Since sending this report I haven't seen any correspondence on the
    issue mentioned.  Has the discrepancy of time_t size been addressed
    in some way yet?  A glance at search_expr.c in git suggests not,
    unless the problem has been attacked from the other direction by
    forcing time_t to 32-bit.<br>

      <pre>I've been testing 3.0.0-beta2 on CentOS 7.2 for deployment, and have

The crash immediate follows search_uint32_cmp operating on 
m->record.internaldate (of type time_t.)  On CentOS 7 64-bit, time_t 
(and size_t, off_t, long) are 64-bit types by default. Because it's 
Friday evening, I've quickly fixed the problem by replacing the search 
functions for "internaldate" and "sentdate" with the 64-bit equivalents 
in attrs[] within search_attr_init() and this resolves the crash 
observed above.

However, I'm sure the right way to handle this properly is to test for 
sizeof(time_t) in autoconf and select the search functions accordingly.  
I'm also unsure whether this type mismatch impacts anything else -- for 
instance cyrus.index uses 32-bit fields for dates, and mailbox.c feeds 
internaldate, sentdate, gmtime and last_updated through htonl() and 
ntohl() to populate these fields, without explicit typecasting.
