It took a good ten minutes to generate the ssl-parameters.dat file on 
Solaris on an Sun Ultra 5 (probably counts as a slow machine!) during 
which logins were hanging.

I'd vote for starting with some pregenerated ones, generating them when 
Dovecot starts (rather at the first SSL login) or somehow making it 
clear that the generation is still going on. I was about to email you to 
say it wasn't working; trussing the login process seemed to suggest it 
was looping :-

open64("ssl-parameters.dat", O_RDONLY)          Err#2 ENOENT
alarm(0)                                        = 0
sigaction(SIGALRM, 0xFFBEF770, 0xFFBEF820)      = 0
sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, 0xFFBEF810, 0xFFBEF800)  = 0
alarm(1)                                        = 0
     Received signal #14, SIGALRM, in sigsuspend() [caught]
sigsuspend(0xFFBEF7F0)                          Err#4 EINTR
setcontext(0xFFBEF4D8)
alarm(0)                                        = 0
sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, 0xFFBEF810, 0x00000000) = 0
sigaction(SIGALRM, 0xFFBEF770, 0x00000000)      = 0
open64("ssl-parameters.dat", O_RDONLY)          Err#2 ENOENT
alarm(0)                                        = 0

Best Wishes,
Chris

P.S. I had to comment out my ssl_parameters_file option in dovecot.conf 
due to the latest change but dovecot-example.conf still has it in.

P.P.S. Thanks for the LIST fixes. Looks good now (and my yuckiest patch 
is gone!).
