[Dovecot] chroot and raw logging

I'm not sure if it's even intended to work in this particular
case, but there's a problem when chroot is explicitely defined
and rawlogging is used. Rawlog respects chroot point, without
being actually chrooted.
Consider configurtion as below, with two cases (dovecot.rawlog
dir is of course created earlier, with appropriate uid/gid).
1)
dovecot.userdb:
test::10000:10000::/home/vmail/test.tld/test/./::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir:
ktrace will show:
18206 rawlog CALL sigprocmask(0x3,0)
18206 rawlog RET sigprocmask -65793/0xfffefeff
18206 rawlog CALL lstat(0x81fbe028,0xcfbcc980)
18206 rawlog NAMI "/dovecot.rawlog"
18206 rawlog RET lstat -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
18206 rawlog CALL sigprocmask(0x1,0xffffffff)
2)
dovecot.userdb:
test::10000:10000::/home/vmail/test.tld/./test::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir:
1116 rawlog CALL lstat(0x85768028,0xcfbc1d20)
1116 rawlog NAMI "test/dovecot.rawlog"
1116 rawlog RET lstat -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
1116 rawlog CALL sigprocmask(0x1,0xffffffff)
1116 rawlog RET sigprocmask 0
I also noticed something else (not rawlog related). If I do a silly
(blame my curiosity ;) thing like:
valid_chroot_dirs: /
and set chroot point as /./home/vmail/test.tld/test/ in passwd-file
Dovecot will try to stat home/vmail/test.tld/test/ (and fail w/o beginning /),
then chdir to /tmp, start pop3 or imap process, and recreate
home/vmail/test.tld/test under /tmp.
17027 dovecot CALL chdir(0x87a4b29c)
17027 dovecot NAMI "home/vmail/test.tld/test/"
17027 dovecot RET chdir -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
17027 dovecot CALL setitimer(0,0xcfbe7020,0xcfbe7010)
17027 dovecot RET setitimer 0
17027 dovecot CALL seteuid(0)
17027 dovecot RET seteuid 0
17027 dovecot CALL chdir(0x3c001b72)
17027 dovecot NAMI "/tmp"
17027 dovecot RET chdir 0
...
17027 dovecot CALL sigprocmask(0x3,0)
17027 dovecot RET sigprocmask -65793/0xfffefeff
17027 dovecot CALL execve(0x87a4bc38,0x87a4bc70,0x84fdb900)
17027 dovecot NAMI "/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3"
...
17027 pop3 CALL mkdir(0x85f5a2b0,0x1ff)
17027 pop3 NAMI "home/vmail/test.tld/test//Maildir"
17027 pop3 RET mkdir -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
17027 pop3 CALL mkdir(0x85f5a2e0,0x1ff)
17027 pop3 NAMI "home/vmail/test.tld/test/"
17027 pop3 RET mkdir -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
17027 pop3 CALL mkdir(0x85f5a328,0x1ff)
17027 pop3 NAMI "home/vmail/test.tld/test"
17027 pop3 RET mkdir -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
17027 pop3 CALL mkdir(0x85f5a348,0x1ff)
...
and so on, then it creates all the home/vmail/... dirs
