dovecot - Oct 2005 - Debian - upgrade done, plain text auth fails

Hi there,

I have a problem concerning authentication of dovecot.
Yesterday I did a apt-get update on my Debian Testing machine, which had 
a new version of Dovecot (common/imap/pop3). It now runs 1.0alpha3
 
Local authentication works fine (Squirrelmail (IMAP), and local 110 
connections work). However: pop3 from outside 127.0.0.1 plain barfs when 
entering the `u` for `user`. What the ....?:

==
+OK Dovecot ready.
u-ERR invalid POP3 command


De verbinding met de host is verbroken. (Connection with host is lost)

=
However, on localhost:

==
diedx:/etc/dovecot# telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to diederik.nl.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK Dovecot ready.
user died
+OK
pass nothere
+OK Logged in.
list
+OK 208 messages:
1 1679750
2 22179
3 2116

==
Works like a charm. I had this problem earlier, so then I switched the 
disable_plaintext_auth = no. This does not seem to work at this moment.
Anyone? Config attached.

Thanks!

Ok,

Short update from my side. I just pinned down the dovecot to stable 
(0.99). This still has the same problem.
