A signal got sent to dovecot process while it was writing to a log  
file. But why exactly that happened, I don't know. Perhaps something  
outside Dovecot was sending it a signal. It would be simple to just  
make it ignore the EINTR error and retry, but I'm not really sure if  
it's a good idea to do it..
