[Dovecot] dovecot died

[Jack Bates]

Read the wiki that was linked. It could be anything from 
ntpd/OS/hardware bug. It isn't uncommon for there to be TSC timing 
issues as well. I have a cutting edge server that has a bug that breaks 
TSC and causes timing issues. Luckily, my OS is relatively good at not 
stepping backwards in time.
