dovecot - Mar 2007 - authentication process fails when starting 2nd dovecot

Hello,

With dovecot running already, (accidently) starting another dovecot seems to
break the authentication process of the first dovecot. Login will be
impossible untill dovecot is restarted.


# dovecot
Fatal: listen(143) failed: Address already in use

## Wait several seconds.

# telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK Dovecot ready.
0: logout
* OK Waiting for authentication process to respond..
0: logout

Also, in the logfiles the following entries will appear:
--

Mar 26 12:11:21 virt6 dovecot: child 38054 (login) returned error 89
