[Dovecot] dovecot won't launch

Hi,
I downloaded the latest dovecot (1.0 alpha 3) and tried numerous
installs which get me nothing. No errors, no crashes, no segfaults
and no running dovecot. It just seems to silently exit. I was trying
to build with mysql support but I've also tried a plain old install,
just configure, make install, etc. I get nada. strace doesn't show
anything, at least as far as I can tell. No messages are logged. No
output to the console.
Any ideas? My only guess, no idea if it matters, is that dovecot
doesn't like the fact that this is a VPS (User Mode Linux, Fedora
Core 3). But I don't see any reason why not, other mail servers are
pretty happy...
Here's the strace:
