Fatal: master: service(imap): child 20258 killed with signal 6 (core not dumped - set service imap { drop_priv_before_exec=yes })

After starting dovecot the following is run to take care of the fd limit:

/usr/bin/plimit -n 16384,16384 `cat ../var/run/dovecot/master.pid`

I was doing this same commend for 2.2. dovecot as well.

I do have ssl configured and working.  My mail client confirms the 
secure connection is made.

Not sure why the dovecot -n showed double slash, it's not that way in 
the config file.
