dovecot - Aug 2006 - Can't Start dovecot from inetd

This one has me stumped.  After upgrading from dovecot-1.0-beta8 to
dovecot-1.0-rc6, I can't start dovecot from /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot.

I can start dovecot directly from the command line (/usr/sbin/dovecot).  I can
still use /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot to query the status of dovecot and shutdown
dovecot, but I can't use it to start dovecot.  It just says
"FAILED".

diff scan of the two different versions of the /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot file
says they're identical.

Ideas?

[root at mail log]# whereis dovecot
dovecot: /usr/sbin/dovecot /usr/local/sbin/dovecot

RH rpm dovecot and dovecot compiled by hand put the binaries in different
locations.
