needs this patch by the author of dovecot.. I assume it's already in upstream
releases:

http://dovecot.procontrol.fi/list/dovecot/2003-July/001945.html

I guess the underlying change in behavior could cause issues in other programs
in moving to 2.6..


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use 2.6
2. try to start dovecot
    

Actual Results:  doesn't start

Expected Results:  should start

Additional info:

outside of initscripts needing help, this is the only issue I've found with 2.6
