I have a problem. I have been running Dovecot 2.2.15 and I'd like to upgrade. My distro (Slackware) has dovecot 2.2.32 available. I downloaded and installed that, but it didn't work. No one was able to get messages from the dovecot server on their workstations. The following is the entire dovecot log file from startup to the last message generated. No more messages went into the logfile after line 76, even with clients trying to connect. The 174.233.134.88 IP is from an external user connecting from his iPhone. The normal successful message from this user are shown at bottom.
I'm suspecting something to do with line 18 where is says "Auth process broken." If anyone has any insight I'd deeply appreciate it as I'd love to upgrade.

Can you try adding
service auth { executable = strace -o /tmp/auth.trace /usr/libexec/dovecot/auth }
and see if it gives any insight why it dies?
