Does setting login_process_size=64 fix this? If so, I'll update that text to mention setrlimit() address space limit.
This is currently 32 (according to dovecot.conf). Wouldn't raising it to 64 exacerbate memory problems if they do indeed exist?
No. The setting gives the maximum virtual size for the process. I've already increased it to 64MB because shared library mappings have caused 32MB not to be enough in some systems. Maybe in your system 32MB is just enough to get the process started, but not enough to always allocate enough memory for heap/stack.
