dovecot - Nov 2006 - I/O leak

I upgraded from rc12 to rc14 last night... sifting through the logs I noticed 
the following. I point this out since it appears dovecot is in high gear 
bug-fix mode. This issue is not big for me; I rarely stop dovecot. My init.d 
script for dovecot is basically

stop)
    killall dovecot imap-login

I am guessing there might be a more graceful way to stop dovecot? Or rc14 
fixed this? I see in rc14 changelog:

 - rc13 crashed if client disconnected while IDLEing

but only user1 was IDLE.

Well, killing imap-login processes shouldn't be needed nowadays since
they should die by themselves when master dies.

Instead of killall a bit cleaner way would be to do:

kill `cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid`

Could you tell me what this says:

gdb /usr/sbin/dovecot
x 0x804d7a0

It should print a function name which exists in that address. Although
if those messages are from rc13 then you'd need to do that against the
rc13 binary..
