Are you using PAM? It probably has something to do with it. In any case since you're using 0.99 version, I'd just suggest upgrading to 1.0rc. It probably has already fixed the problem.
Yes, I am using PAM. Why do you ask and what is your theory?
Each PAM lookup creates a new dovecot-auth process, but I don't really know why they would be left in defunct-state. Those defunct processes are cleaned up when the main dovecot-auth process calls waitpid() function, but that's done every second..
