Instead of killall a bit cleaner way would be to do:
kill
cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid
great thanks.

Could you tell me what this says:
gdb /usr/sbin/dovecot x 0x804d7a0
It should print a function name which exists in that address. Although if those messages are from rc13 then you'd need to do that against the rc13 binary..
It was actually an upgrade from rc12 to rc14; I am 13-phobic. I'll just apologize and say that I don't keep old stuff around. I upgraded to rc14 that night and deleted rc12 that night. It doesn't take much to rebuild back to a previous version so I did take some time just now to rebuild rc12 (on the same machine, etc) and for what it is worth:
(gdb) x 0x804d7a0
0x804d7a0
I hope this helps.
