[Dovecot] dovecot starts and then exit

I've just installed dovecot on FreeBSD 6.1. Running MySQL 5.0 on another
server. Postfix version 2.3.3

Dovecot starts then exits with no error messages.

I've run it as a daemon and on the command line with -F option

How do I run it in debug mode so I can figure out why it does not stay
running.

The maillog has a startup message

dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc7 starting up
