valgrind --log-file=/tmp/imap.%p could be helpful there then. But does
it keep logging something? With me it logs one error when the process
starts:

==6036== Syscall param socketcall.sendmsg(msg.msg_iov[i]) points to uninitialised byte(s)
==6036==    at 0x40007D2: (within /lib/ld-2.8.90.so)
==6036==    by 0x804F94E: master_request_login (master.c:87)
==6036==    by 0x8054D86: auth_client_input_ok (auth-server-request.c:194)

After that there's nothing. Probably all output after that are bugs
(maybe this one too, but I haven't managed to figure out how it could be
fixed).

Oh, and valgrind -q also makes it more quiet if you want to keep logging
to Dovecot logs.
