[Dovecot] 1.0beta8 won't start: Fatal: Protocol imaps given more than once

Greetings -

I've just built Dovecot 1.0beta8 and find it refuses to start. This under Solaris 10 on an Intel-based Sun system. The error message Dovecot displays (on standard error) in response to /usr/local/sbin/dovecot is Fatal: Protocol imaps given more than once

I've checked through my configuration file and the only mention of "imaps" is here:

# Protocols we want to be serving:
#  imap imaps pop3 pop3s
protocols = imap imaps

The same settings file worked OK with 1.0beta7. I've also tried using the standard dovecot-example.conf that comes with 1.0beta8 which has the "protocols" line commented out and, after adding appropriate settings for "ssl_cert_file" and "ssl_key_file", still have the same problem.

I popped a few dubugging i_info() calls into src/master/main.c to try and see what was going on and the output was as follows:

Info: set->protocols = >imap imaps<
Info: imap: *fd = -1
Info: imaps: *fd = 0
Fatal: Protocol imaps given more than once

The first line is displaying the value of the keywords in set->protocols

The second and third are within the if/then/else sequence: the first for the "imap" keyword and the second for the "imaps" keyword.

Then comes the fatal error, caused by the "fd" variable not being equal to -1 (it is "0" for "imaps") above.

Changing the dovecot.conf file to read protocols = imap lets Dovecot start up OK. Changing it to protcols = imaps causes it to fail in the same way as before(!).

Seems to be a problem with the initialisation of set->ssl_listen_fd therefore, as this should apparently be -1? Is this likely to be something I've got wrong (wouldn't have thought so as 1.0beta7 is happy with the same config file) or is there a problem in 1.0beta8?

Cheers, Mike B-)
