No, it hasn't happened again.

The only errors I found in my logs is like the following one

Oct  1 09:20:29 delta01 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth 
attempts): rip=213.136.170.137, lip=10.68.1.31
Oct  1 09:20:29 delta01 dovecot: pop3-login: Panic: Leaked file fd 5: 
dev 0.12 inode 1005
Oct  1 09:20:29 delta01 dovecot: dovecot: Temporary failure in creating 
login processes, slowing down for now
Oct  1 09:20:29 delta01 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth 
attempts): rip=62.94.181.36, lip=10.68.1.31
Oct  1 09:20:29 delta01 dovecot: dovecot: child 12936 (login) killed 
with signal 6 (core dumps disabled)

The only dovecot-related command run by cron daily is expire-tool

I've checked the list of running processes but there is only one 
/usr/sbin/dovecot running with its children
