Difficult to figure out without a coredump + gdb 

I have also battled quite a lot to make sure dovecot can core dump on my
Archlinux servers. 

I remember that the key point was putting FS.SUID_DUMPABLE=2 in
/etc/sysctl.d/ conf files, LIMITCORE=INFINITY in
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/dovecot.service,  and
rebooting the server. 

My own coredumps are on /var/lib/systemd/coredump/
