auth: Fatal: master: service(auth): child N killed with signal 11
Hello there,
Got a server powered by "AlmaLinux 9.7 (Moss Jungle Cat)" with Dovecot 2.4.2 compiled from sources by directadmin with the following options:
./configure
--with-ldap=yes
--with-pam=yes
--prefix=/usr
--sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var
--without-icu
Dovecot crashes and no IMAP auth is possible on the server
Got this only from dumped core:

Have no issue with Dovecot 2.4.1
Kindly advice.

Any chance you could try if this happens with main?
env VERSION=2.4.3 ./autogen.sh
is needed, and bison and flex

Hi Aki,
Thank you for the reply. It seems the 2.4.3 version fixes the issue.
[root@server dovecot]# dovecot --version 2.4.3 (7320eef861) [root@server dovecot]#
