[Dovecot] 100% CPU utilisation

[Lasse Danielsen]

I have some experience with OBSD, squirrel, vpopmail and dovecot. In my
experience it would hang like that if squirrel was set up to sort/thread
(or whatever the settings was named). try to turn such things off and see
if that helps.

Random Thought:
--------------
There was a young lady named Ransom
Who was rogered three times in a hansom.
	When she cried out for more
	A voice from the floor
Replied, "My name is Simpson, not Samson."
