[Dovecot] fcntl and F_NOTIFY

[Michael Blinn]

I've set up dovecot on a testbed server. Each time a user ('myusername') 
connects via imap, I get the following info in mail.log:

dovecot: imap(myusername): fcntl(F_NOTIFY) failed: Invalid argument

I'm using these config settings in dovecot.conf in an attempt to avoid fcntl

lock_method = dotlock
mbox_read_locks = dotlock
mbox_write_locks = dotlock

I've looked through the archives but haven't seen this particular 
message, so I am a bit lost. I've tried fiddling with the NOTIFY defines 
in config.h but these don't seem to make a difference, if they compile 
at all. I'm on lib6 on this Debian Woody (kernel 2.2.25) box. I don't 
know how realistic it would be to get up to a latest glibc, if this is 
where the problem exists.

Can anyone point me in the right direction or provide some insight?

Cheers,
