OK.. What configure options did you use while compiling Dovecot?

Any difference if you set "login_dir = /var/run/dovecot/login" in
dovecot.conf?

It seems that you have Dovecot indexes stored on NFS disk, thus you
should have "mmap_disable = yes" in dovecot.conf. This won't help
with your current problem though.

I would recommend that you try Dovecot 1.0-test72, it includes lots of
fixes over 1.0-stable and I'd say that it has gone through a quite
extensive testing on Linux platform during last couple weeks.
