[Dovecot] Is Dovecot SMP and thread-safe?

Not to discount the SMP hypothesis, but do you possibly have a password
database that uses uid's > 65535?

If there's some application in the chain that is assuming uid's should
be a short, and another app in the chain assumes that uid's should be an
int...  Then when mapping int to short, you might lose the upper bits -
which should only matter for uid's >= 65536.
