The dovecot process is still around, yes.  I has happened several times
already (maybe 5), but I only recently identified it as a bug.  I'll
investigate more when I encounter it again, but it's not easy to do
because I'm not the only user of the mail server.

I tagged it as serious because it affects my clients, and because it's
difficult to notice there's something wrong.
