Does it happen always, or can you at least easily reproduce this? Can 
you save the traffic between Dovecot and fetchmail? I'd like to see 
that.

I guess when it's frozen Dovecot isn't actually frozen, just waiting 
for fetchmail to send some command (ie. uses 0% cpu and ktrace would 
show poll())?
