Ummmm... I wrote a quick perl script to decrypt the string and
print it out... I'll have to look at how to tell if there are
NUL chars in there.

I have more if it would be helpful... I'm not skilled enough in
debugging compiled programs to effectively interpret what I see
above.
Gut instinct - do you think this might be a problem with OpenBSD's
lib, or Dovecot, or .. ? I think my configuration is OK, I have
tried with both the previous version (that was running under the
older Dovecot) as well as migrating my settings to the new Dovecot's
version of the configuration.
I *really* appreciate all your help.
