SELinux is not enabled at all on this machine.

This isn't with the init script.  Currently, I'm just using monit to
force dovecot restarts, as that's much easier to do remotely - I'd have
to be at the console to see if it outputs anything additional when it
boots.  I started monit with its verbose flag to see if it logs
anything additional, but it doesn't.  I also tried running it as a
foreground process, but then the problem doesn't occur.
