Your logs before showed that it crashes at least sometimes. The 
backtrace you sent was done before the crash, so it didn't help.. Did 
you give the "continue" command to gdb? Without that the process is 
just stuck in gdb.

There's no need to ever login as dovecot. I'll probably just add extra 
checks to make sure dovecot user isn't ever used for anything else than 
executing the login processes :)
