[Dovecot] 1.0.rc10 in inetd mode

[Phil Oleson]

Guess I'll keep responding to myself, in order to keep a trail for this issue.
as noone else has chimed in with a suggestion.

Tried the to get the same results out of a FreeBSD box and though it failed 
similarly on the 1st and 2nd connections, the 3rd connect failed slightly 
differently with:  'Fatal: EOF while reading environment from master' and 
disconnects, while on the RHEL4 box where the orignal test was run, hangs with 
no error.

Guess I need to figure out the istream implementation in place for dovecot.
