old master.pid prevents dovecot startup
.... oops!
As the system rebooted, I saw that dovecot did not start properly, with an
error message:
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot.conf
After the system came up, I tried to start dovecot manually. Turns out
that there was an invalid PID in /var/run/dovecot/master.pid

[root at mykiss5 mth]# service dovecot start
Starting Dovecot Imap: Error: Dovecot is already running with PID 1965
