Hi Timo,
thanks for your time and analysis.
We upgraded our dovecot installations to
# dovecot --version
1.1.13
(Debian Lenny backport package) and the problem went away. It might have
been due to our particular infrastructure, now luckily it's working fine.
Regards,
Sandro

BTW. I'm now trying it with:
while date ; do kill -HUP $(cat /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/master.pid) ; sleep
3s ; done
And at the same time running imaptest (http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest),
which just rapidly logs in and logs out:
imaptest - clients=8
It hasn't broken yet..
