dovecot - Sep 2010 - Change in delivery directory during 2.0.2->2.0.3 upgrade

In upgrading from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3, Dovecot deliver has started putting 
new emails into user at host/.user at host/new instead of user at host/new. 
This
change was reversed by downgrading to 2.0.2, so it's due to the minor 
version change.  Has anyone else seen this?

dovecot.conf follows:
# 2.0.0: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.27.2-xenU i686 Debian 5.0.5 ext3
auth_mechanisms = plain cram-md5 login  digest-md5
dotlock_use_excl = yes
login_greeting = IMAP ready.
mail_fsync = never
mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%u
passdb {
   args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.cnf
   driver = sql
}
plugin {
   auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
   sieve_global_path = /home/vmail/sieve/global.sieve
}
service auth {
   unix_listener /var/run/dovecot/auth-master {
     group = vmail
     mode = 0600
     user = vmail
   }
   unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth-client {
     group = postfix
     mode = 0660
     user = postfix
   }
   user = root
}
service imap-login {
   client_limit = 256
   process_limit = 128
   process_min_avail = 4
   service_count = 0
   user = dovecot
}
service imap {
   vsz_limit = 70
}
service pop3-login {
   client_limit = 256
   process_limit = 128
   process_min_avail = 4
   service_count = 0
   user = dovecot
}
service pop3 {
   vsz_limit = 70
}
ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/ssl/certs/dovecot_cert.pem
ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW
ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/ssl/private/dovecot_key.pem

userdb {
   driver = passwd
}

userdb {
   args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%u
   driver = static
}
protocol imap {
   mail_plugin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap
   mail_plugins }
protocol lda {
   auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
   info_log_path = /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log
   log_path = /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log
   mail_plugins = sieve
   postmaster_address = postmaster at finity.org
}

deliver is invoked in postfix's master.cf using:
dovecot  unix   -   n   n   -   -   pipe
     flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver 
-f ${sender} -d ${recipient}

This says dovecot 2.0.0, not 2.0.2 or 2.0.3... ?

Also, you should always provide outputs from both running configurations...

As a matter of fact: yes:

You apparently didn't recompile and reinstall Pigeonhole after the 
upgrade. An internal structure in the LDA has changed, making Pigeonhole 
using a recipient address as -m argument if not recompiled.

Regards,

Stephan.

Yup, that was it - thanks.  Forgot to recompile Pigeonhole.  Sorry I 
missed the earlier post.
