dovecot-2.0.9-2, not all that much newer than what I am using. I am not
opposed to upgrading, just not sure if I am seeing much in the way of
RPMs for my system that I can use to upgrade to a version that is much
newer than what I already have.

2.0.19 is newer than 2.0.9.  2.1.12 is newer than that.  You may have to
take the spec file and rpmbuild your own RPM, if you want to stick with
RPMs.

dumps for Red Hat (http://www.dovecot.org/bugreport.html). I have also
added unlimited core dump files to /etc/security/limits.conf and
verified that whenever myself or anyone else opens a shell that "ulimit
-c" shows an output of "unlimited".

Check disk space on the filesystem where Dovecot is trying to dump?  Is
there some other reason it can't write there (but can create files) ?
