Okay. So following up on the problems I was discussing weeks ago, I have
hand-patched dovecot to work around problems that I believe may be in libc and
not dovecot.

Trying to get the properly built and installed dovecot-2.2.35, however, is
giving me an error I haven’t seen before. I presume that something got munged
while I was hand-configuring and installing/uninstalling/reinstalling the port
in recent weeks.

Running on a FreeBSD 11-stable machine, when I run “service dovecot start”,
it tells me:
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
% sudo service dovecot start
</div>
<div>
Starting dovecot.
</div>
<div>
Fatal: Error reading configuration: Invalid settings: Service #0 is missing
name
</div>
<div>
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dovecot: WARNING: failed to start dovecot
</div>
<div>
%
</div>
<div>

</div>
<div>
Surprisingly, googling for “Service #0 is missing name” didn’t yield a
suggestion. My config is the same as it had been previously, I believe. Does
anyone have an idea what might be wrong here?

Thanks.

Without looking at your config I'd say you have a nameless service
section, like
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
service {
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
}
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Name goes after keyword service.
