Hi Dennis,
thanks for the reply

I've upgraded to 1.2.11 but the problem is still there: here is a fresh 
crash

This is not directly a solution for your problem, but debian stabel
does not include dovecot 1.2 only 1.0. You got this doveot version
from backports where 1.2.11 is current.

So it might be worth a shot to upgrade your dovecot to 1.2.11 and have
a look if it still fails.
