[Dovecot] BUG: mishandling of username if it's a keyword?

[Jack Bates]

Additional info by switching the home= and uid= settings in the config.

userdb {
   args = home=/nfs/maildir/vmail/%u uid=vmail gid=vmail 
mail_location=maildir:~/Maildir
   driver = static
}

We got the effective id, but then home was unset and the user became the 
home setting. lol
