    *  Dovecot must have been started without core dump size limit
being too low. Run ulimit -c unlimited before starting Dovecot.

hm, already @ unlimited,

	bash -c ulimit
		unlimited

ah, tcsh-ism,

	limit coredumpsize
		coredumpsize 0 kbytes
	limit coredumpsize unlimited
		coredumpsize unlimited

in master.conf
	...
	service imap {
		protocol                  = imap
		executable                = gdbhelper /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap
	...

    * Set mail_drop_priv_before_exec = yes in config file.

ok, so where's this go now? if in mail.conf,

	dovecot -n
	# 2.0.alpha1: /data/mail/Conf/dovecot/dovecot.conf
	doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file
/data/mail/Conf/dovecot/conf.d/mail.conf line 21: Unknown setting:
mail_drop_priv_before_exec

    * Linux: Make sure /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern contains a proper
value. By giving an absolute path to it (e.g. /var/core/%p) the users
don't need a home directory.

	cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
		core

but @ startup,

tail -f /var/log/{dove*/dove*,messages}

	==> /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log <==
	Oct 15 09:07:33 master: Info: Dovecot v2.0.alpha1 starting up (core
dumps disabled)

how do i enable coredumps?
