[Dovecot] sigsev with postfix + dovecot SASL

[Udo Rader]

hi,

I am just playing a bit with the dovecot SASL plugin for postfix and so far my
tests have been very successfull, can't wait to get the cyrus-sasl beast replaced.

However, I found a potential problem when doing some "illegal" stuff on the
postfix side:

-------CUT-------

dovecot logs this:

dovecot: Apr 27 10:27:36 Error: child 445 (auth) killed with signal 11
-------CUT-------

I am very aware that "AUTH somestring" is not valid in the given context, but
dovecot should not sigsev IMO.

dovecot is 1.0-beta7.
