[Dovecot] Dovecot(-auth) crashes upon encountering a private key in .ssh
I've recently hit a bug after updating pam, while pam-ssh passphrase authentication become enabled. Dovecot-auth crashes as users having private a key stored in .ssh try to log in. I have a gentoo system with dovecot-1.1.7 installed. PAM: 1.1.0.

This must be a bug in the pam plugin. Dovecot doesn't care about any
of that and can't help it if a pam plugin crashes. Try removing the
pam-ssh plugin from /etc/pam.d/dovecot (or whatever file it reads)
It solves the problem. The pam file dovecot uses relies on system-auth. However no other application using system-auth crashes...
