In rc28 or the upcoming rc29?

I have been trying to get a core, but haven't succeeded thus far.  I have
set "mail_drop_priv_before_exec = yes", but I'm not sure this applies to
the LDA...  I ran a find to locate the core, but there isn't one.  I do
have "ulimit -c unlimited" in effect, too.

Doing so yields this error:

Mar 28 13:41:37 myhostname deliver(myuser): net_connect(/var/opt/dovecot/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: No such file or directory

Not sure how my environment is different than when Postfix calls deliver...
