dovecot - Jan 2012 - per-user limit?

I am seeing a problem where users are limited to 6 imap logins total.
One of my users has a bunch of phones and computers, and wants them all
on at the same time.

I'm looking through my configuration, and I cannot see a limit on how
many times a single user can connect.  He is connecting from different
IPs.

Any ideas?  My logs show the following error when they attempt to auth
for a 7th time:

dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=111.yy.zz.xx,
lip=81.209.183.113, TLS

I think you're needing:

This means that the client simply didn't try to log in. If Dovecot
reaches some kind of a limit, it logs about that. If there isn't
anything else logged, I don't think the problem is in Dovecot itself.

Can you reproduce this yourself by logging in with e.g. telnet?
