Hi Timo,

I can't seem to apply your patch -- doing patch -p1 < fdpass.patch tells
me it can't find input file on line 15. Looking at the diff, I think your
line numbers are off (at least they don't seem to quite match the ones in
my fdpass.c) -- I've tried this both on the dovecot-0.99.10 available on
the web site and the version checked out of CVS.

I could hack the source myself, but I want to make sure I don't break
something else.

Thanks again for all your help with this.

Best,
Tim
