Having previously been on 1.2 on Debian Squeeze the upgrade went
flawlessly (and automatically, as I'd already placed the 1.2
dovecot.conf file before installing 2.1.7).  And I've been very happy.

However, yesterday the server just just shutdown.
/var/log/mail.log.1:42890:Jun 30 17:27:04 mail dovecot: imap: Server
shutting down. in=14 out=648
/var/log/mail.log.1:42891:Jun 30 17:27:04 mail dovecot: imap: Server
shutting down. in=14 out=648
/var/log/mail.log.1:42893:Jun 30 17:27:04 mail dovecot: imap: Server
shutting down. in=14 out=648
/var/log/mail.log.1:42895:Jun 30 17:27:34 mail dovecot: imap: Server
shutting down. in=739 out=2081
/var/log/mail.log.1:42896:Jun 30 17:27:34 mail dovecot: imap: Server
shutting down. in=1764 out=4027

There's no error|panic|warning|fatal messages in any of the logs.

root at mail:~# grep -in dovecot /var/log/syslog | grep
'(fatal|error|warning|panic)'
root at mail:~# grep -in dovecot /var/log/messages | grep
'(fatal|error|warning|panic)'
root at mail:~# grep -in dovecot /var/log/daemon.log | grep
'(fatal|error|warning|panic)'
root at mail:~# grep -inr dovecot /var/log/mail* | grep
'(fatal|error|warning|panic)'

Although everything should log to mail.log if I set up rsyslog properly.

The timestamp is not correlated to any of my cron jobs.

How can I find out what caused this?  Of course with Dovecot shut down
Postfix refused to send mail as there was no auth service available.

What does the preceding line for the master process say?

Jun 29 11:39:24 spectre dovecot: master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by
pid=11676 uid=0 code=kill)
