Using --with-ioloop=epoll used to work but now I'm seeing this in config.log:

The system is a Fedora devel (FC6 test1) release on x86_64 with 
dovecot-cvs/branch.  Not sure when it started happening but I can try some other 
older versions if that's any use in narrowing it all down.

Congratulations on your progress with getting into University.
