Hi,

I'm still struggling with dovecot and Unixware: On my main server, I have two problems: 1- imap-login has great difficulties to connect to 'default'. I have traced it to accept in auth_master_listener.c witch fails with errno=71 (EPROTO) weird...

2- It some times works and I can log-in but imap gets killed by signal 6 (abort?)

See the logs:
