Version: dovecot --version: 1.0.0
OS: OS X - 10.4.9
Architecture: G5 Dual/1.8Ghz
Had a fairly normal time correction last night:
May 9 20:56:56 G518X2 ntpd[219]: time set -1.212733 s
Which dovecot duly noted:
May 9 20:56:56 G518X2 dovecot: auth(default): Time just moved
backwards by 1 seconds. I'll sleep now until we're back in present.
This morning all of the dovecot processes are running fine but
dovecot has stopped logging. (I have modified nothing in
dovecot.conf relative to logging: dovecot logs to syslog using the
"mail" syslog_facility.)

I am starting dovecot via OS X's launchdaemon facility thus the "-F"
command line switch requirement.
Sending a "kill -HUP" to the process did not get it to start logging.
Sending a "Kill -9" to the process forced a restart and logging began
again.

Before posting this bug I compared v1.0.0's /src/lib/ioloop.c to that
in the nightly snapshot and saw no adjustments in, what I presumed to
be, the relevant portion of the code.

Thank you.
