Timo,
My setup: Solaris 9 (soon to be 10), imap and imaps. I had had problems with rc4, rc5, rc6 and had remained at rc2. rc7 died a couple of hours after upgrading with the following syslog message:
Aug 18 10:45:01 emerald dovecot: [ID 920869 mail.error] Login process died too early - shutting down
I went in and doubled login_max_processes_count and login_max_connections in the conf file, restarted, and it has stayed up since then. I had to double these two settings during beta releases but not the early rc releases.
A more useful syslog message might help others, something like "too many connections".
