dovecot - Apr 2004 - dovecot not staying up

I found one reference to this in the archives via google, but the 
assistance offered there did not resolve the problem. I am getting the 
following in the logs:

Apr  5 10:21:25 ziegchen dovecot: Dovecot starting up
Apr  5 10:21:26 ziegchen dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down
Apr  5 10:21:26 ziegchen dovecot: child 30091 (auth) returned error 127
Apr  5 10:21:26 ziegchen imap-login: fd_send(-1) failed: Broken pipe

This is with SSL on or off, I have tried building the source many 
different ways, but it behaves the same every time. I even copied the 
config from a working installation and tried it with that, but to no 
avail. Any insight would be appreciated.

What does your dovecot.conf look like?

What operating system are you using?
