A new status report regarding this issue:
Dovecot on my PC in the office is still running fine with kernel 2.6.26.
Dovecot with the latest kernel 2.6.27-9.slh.1-sidux-686 on my PC at home did show the unkillable imap processes after a few minutes.
Now I am running dovecot compiled without inotify support on this kernel without any problems for about 70 minutes.
So I really think that the inotify stuff in kernel 2.6.27 does make the problem. (I will tell you if the imap process unexpectedly are making problems again in the current configuration.).
So where are kernel issues reported? I will try to find out.
