doveconf error upon boot up

[Stroller]

I've just started getting this error on Gentoo Linux.

I've been running dovecot-2.3.2.1 for some time and didn't notice it. I recently updated glibc from 2.26-r7 to 2.27-r6 and dovecot was hanging on startup.

Recompiling dovecot fixed the hang, but now I'm seeing the same error message as below.
