[Dovecot] imap dump-capability fails Dovecot 1.1.6

[Thorsten Vollmer]

Hi Timo,

Dovecot fails to start after upgrading from 1.1.4 to 1.1.6:

Fatal: userdb didn't return a home directory, but mail location used it
(%h): %h/mail:CONTROL=%h/control:INDEX=%h/index
Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

Adding a fake home directory to args in
master-settings.c:get_imap_capability solved the problem for me, but
there may be a more correct fix.

Regards,
Thorsten
