Using dovecot-2.1.15 if I run indexer-worker as a non-root user it fails with an error: Feb 11 13:06:47 indexer-worker: Error: user foobar: Error reading configuration: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/config) failed: Permission denied

Well.. http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/6d45b9bd1cff fixes it, although it's a little bit annoying fix. Now it unnecessarily reads the config at startup and then keeps the connection open, even if it really doesn't need to keep it open afterwards. But it is a rather generic problem..
