Dunno if it is related or helpful, I use v1.10 still. When I had 
login_max_processes_count too low, once in a while the dovecot process had 
lots of "socket" fd's (displayed with lsof in Linux), for which there was 
no counterpart in the system (lsof -U). The number of fd's did not 
decrease, when the number of logged in users decreased (aka over night) - 
I made a graph for monitoring fd's and users count. Doing a "reload" 
solved the problem just temporarily, we have peeks of user logins at 
specific parts of the year, so the problem came up every 4 or 5 days in 
these phases, but not in months otherwise.

Bye,
