Do you see it, or do you see:
Info: Dovecot v1.1.11 starting up (core dumps disabled)

http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-4897 shows how to enable core dumps in RedHat and CentOS. It is set in /etc/profile, so it would need to be temporarily edited there.
Thanks for trying to help, I tried this too, but as I reported earlier, I had tried according to the dovecot bug report instructions by setting ulimit from the shell before I started this build. Still no core. (Debian rules! *ahem*)
Did you do it like that kb article said, or did you just try; ulimit -c unlimited [enter] service dovecot start [enter]
in a shell, because the latter won't work in CentOS because of the way it is setup.
