[Dovecot] error dropping root group priv

Good morning all, I am new to this list.

I have been running FreeBSD 5.1 with dovecot successfully for about a year. Just recently, I built a new machine with 5.2.1-p5 on the Intel platform with dovecot-0.99.10.4_2. When I use the same configuration options on the new machine, I get

Apr 24 10:53:59 standrew pop3-login: Login: tabthorpe [172.16.1.100] Apr 24 10:53:59 standrew pop3(tabthorpe): We couldn't drop root group privileges Apr 24 10:53:59 standrew dovecot: child 44134 (pop3) returned error 89

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Thomas
