That patch certainly worked for me!
I unpacked dovecot 1.1.2 into a directory, copied the patch into there and ran:
patch -p1 -i patchfilename.patch
Then configured and compiled/installed as normal and all was well! If you are applying the patch to a dovecot 1.1.2 source that you have already compiled from, you might want to do a "make distclean" to remove any existing compiled code that might confuse make before you configure/compile/install just to ensure the patch is compiled in.

This patch should help: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/8cc0eaec7d0f
I applied that patch last night, and I'm still seeing the same errors... So unless I didn't get the patch right, there is still something amiss...
I'm hoping it's the "didn't get patch right" ;) I don't really have any other ideas right now, let's wait and see what others report..
