This shouldn't happen unless the first authentication already failed.
Anyway I suppose this is a bug, fixed:
http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2007-March/008377.html and
http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2007-March/008379.html

I'm not sure why it crashes though. I couldn't reproduce it. Possibly
fixed by these, but I don't see how:
http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2007-March/008373.html
http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2007-March/008376.html

One way to reproduce the error at least is to stop dovecot-auth and then
do something like:

x authenticate plain
hello
world

But apparently with you the client disconnected and somehow that caused
the crash..
