CentOS - Aug 2007 - Stability issues with Dovecot imap-login in Centos 5?

I wonder if other people are seeing stability issues with Dovecot and
imap-login against LDAP?
I've changed from pam_nss to ldap without nss in Dovecot to see if that
helps the issue. I realise
Dovecot is version 1.0 in Centos 5, would it be more advisable to switch to
Cyrus? I'm using mbox
mail spool files would that work with Cyrus?

We run CentOS 5 (x86_64) on our main mail server. User authentication 
is done via LDAP/PAM. Dovecot has been very solid. We use Maildir, not 
mbox.

Can you give us a better idea of the symptoms of your "stability 
issues"?
