I built from dovecot-2.2.25.tar.gz on Mac OSX 10.11.15 (El Capitan) the usual way:
CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/ssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib ./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo /usr/local/sbin/dovecot
It consistently crash on startup with the following entries in /var/log/mail.log (edited backtrace):

It looks similar to this report:

HomeBrew installed 2.2.24, and it works in my Mac. Can someone confirm this is a bug?
I also built 2.2.25 with debug, but can't make it break at line iolook-kqueue.c:67
i_panic("kevent(EV_ADD, READ, %d) failed: %m", io->fd);
Thanks
