Sorry, I meant to say coomment. Yes, commenting the following line:

pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh

changes the error message to:

May 25 17:26:24 charlie dovecot: POP3(gelu): /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: 
environment corrupt; missing value for 36

In fact when changing just about anything in the config file, changes 
the error message. Dovecot works fine standalone; it only breaks when 
run from inetd or tcpserver/ucspi-tcp. If I enable auth_verbose and 
auth_debug I get this error:

May 25 17:34:57 charlie pop3-login: Login: user=<gelu>, method=PLAIN, 
rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured
