[Dovecot] dovecot stopping - no messages

[Nigel Allen]

Greetings

Running Fedora Core 3 and dovecot-0.99.13-3.FC3 as a production mail
server for around 30+ accounts.

A couple of times a day dovecot just stops.

Nothing in the mail log except for 

Apr 26 00:48:19 sydsrv05 imap-login: Can't connect to auth process at
default: Connection refused

It's got to the point that I have put a script into cron.hourly to
restart the dovecot service every hour.

Any suggestions where to start looking please?

Rgds

Nigel
