Mh, I think this is one of the few times I read that someone was actually 
greatful for a "RTFM" he got... ;)

That's bad and may cause a lot of other (and more subtle) troubles than 
Dovecot committing suicide.

I'f your' using something like "ntpdate" to periodically step the time, do 
not do that but run an ntp server instead which will gradually skew the 
clock to keep the system's time accurate.

Greetings,

I would actually distinguish between problems with compiling the kernel, 
and problems with the kernel after compiling.        -- Karol 'sziwan'
