Well, killing imap-login processes shouldn't be needed nowadays since
they should die by themselves when master dies.

Instead of killall a bit cleaner way would be to do:

kill `cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid`

Could you tell me what this says:

gdb /usr/sbin/dovecot
x 0x804d7a0

It should print a function name which exists in that address. Although
if those messages are from rc13 then you'd need to do that against the
rc13 binary..
