Never mind this, it turned out to be a Moron problem.

In case it comes up again in the future, make sure that if install 2 versions of dovecot in different locations, you remember to update the dovecot.conf file with the correct locations of the plugins for the version you're running!

I've tried upgrading from dovecot-1.0 stable to the latest dovecot-1.0.alpha3.

I've done a configure with:

./configure --with-notify=none --with-ioloop=poll

And all I get is this when I run:

dovecot: Sep 29 16:45:28 Info: Dovecot v1.0.alpha3 starting up dovecot: Sep 29 16:45:29 Error: Auth process died too early - shutting down dovecot: Sep 29 16:45:29 Error: auth(default): Fatal: sigaction(SIGRTMIN) failed: Invalid argument dovecot: Sep 29 16:45:29 Error: child 4828 (auth) returned error 89

Any clues?
