[Dovecot] No localhost after reboot

I've been SIGHUPing Dovecot when I make changes in dovecot.conf. This
seemed to work fine; I made changes to the imap_listen setting and
Dovecot accepted them. However, I just reset
imap_listen = *
and used killall instead of SIGHUP, and restarted, and Dovecot is
listening on localhost. Previously, Dovecot would listen on both the
LAN interface and localhost if I set
imap_listen = <server name>:143
but now it listens only on the specified socket.
The reboot that changed Dovecot's behavior also changed my LDAP
server. It was using CRYPT as the default without the --with-crypt flag.
But after the reboot, I had to recompile OpenLADP with the --with-crypt
flag. (The flag isn't mentioned in the instructions on the OpenLDAP
site.)
Maybe I shouldn't have swapped keyboards during the reboot. Or maybe
the keyboard uses the wrong brand of pixie dust. Or maybe I need to
hit it with a hammer. Or maybe the power company flushed out some
fat electrons when they cleaned the tap brushes on the dynamos...
