[Dovecot] Request queue is full

Hello all,

Today I had problems on one of the servers. Dovecot stopped working and
I got lots of "Request queue is full" on logs.

Aug 14 16:49:45 mailserver03 dovecot: auth(default):
ldap(xxx at xxx.com.br): Request queue is full
Aug 14 16:49:45 mailserver03 dovecot: auth(default):
ldap(xxxxx at xxxx.com.br): Request queue is full
Aug 14 16:49:45 mailserver03 dovecot: auth(default):
ldap(xxxx at xxxxx.com,10.0.3.1): Request queue is full

Only after a restart on dovecot daemon the services worked again. Does
anyone know how can I fix this problem?


The server were with about 900 imap connections and 300 pop3
connections.
