might be able to resolve this? The crash doesn't kill existing imap
processes, but dovecot/imap-login needs to be restarted.
Do you have shutdown_clients=yes in dovecot.conf? If you do, the imap
processes should die if dovecot process dies.

Is there anything in Dovecot's logs before this? Only way I can see
this happening is if it logs "pipe() failed" before crashing. If it
did, then maybe you should just increase the file descriptor limit.
I'll anyway fix this crash, assuming it's because of the pipe() problem.
