I just updated MySQL to Server version: 5.5.8 on my FreeBSD-8.2 system. Now Dovecot refuses to run. Prior to this, dovecot had been running for several years without a problem.
This is the output of "dovecot -n"

The /var/run/dovecot directory looks like this:

This is the log file output, updated every second (snippet)

I have tried deleting and rebuilding dovecot without success. I am at a lose to figure out what the problem is.

I would rather say that a desire to drive fast sports cars is what sets man apart from the animals.
