[Dovecot] dovecot-auth stops responding

[Jonathan Siegle]

Running dovecot 1.2.4(imap only) on AIX out of inetd. I accept passwords(PAM for auth) and kerberos tickets. Occasionally we see dovecot-auth stop responding. I just kill it off and another process is spawned which works fine. It doesn't look like it is hitting any ulimits(11MB for memory). I issued a kill -11 and ran it through the debugger. Here is what it says:

 dbx dovecot-auth core

Here are my ulimits:

 ulimit -a

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jonathan
