[Dovecot] imap processes remaing after dovecot shutdown

that's a workaround, not a straight solution. Why does it work correctly 
in apache? The Init V script of apache doesn't contain any "killall -9". 
And at that, I cannot even use this workaround, because I have an 
instance of dovecot for pop3 and one instance for imap because of 
different ip-addresses and different authentication. A "killall -9 
dovecot" would kill all dovecot processes, although I only want to 
shutdown one instance.
