I was rather thinking that maybe the kernel doesn't want to write core files to directories that are writable by everyone.
Could it be that dovecot uses setuid to change permissions? Application would need 'prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 1);' according to http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-4897, since this distro doesn't have /proc/sys/kernel/core_setuid_ok
I tried using a pristine 1.1.11 source build with a core_pattern directory that was owned by root, or by dovecot, or by the user, but I still didn't see a core there.
