Which process crashed? With segfault or something else?

If you mean imap/pop3 process, then you need to change
mail_drop_priv_before_exec setting and also have a home dir (see
http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html).

master and auth processes should write the core to /var/run/dovecot.
login processes can't really be made to write core file.
