Trying to start dovecot with the default configuration fails. It only happens on 64-bit architectures. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge dovecot 2. /etc/init.d/dovecot start Actual Results: After issuing /etc/init.d/dovecot start with the default configuration, it fails leaving the following in logs: dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.13 starting up dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down dovecot: auth(default): dovecot-auth: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory dovecot: child 32460 (auth) returned error 127 This can be fixed by changing the memory limit on auth process to at least 64 MB, ie. edit /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and set auth_process_size=64
Huh?! Here are the defaults process sizes: auth_process_size: 256 login_process_size: 64 mail_process_size: 256 The referenced RedHat bug is about login_process_size==32, which is NOT the default anymore. =net-mail/dovecot-1.0.13-r1 definitely has login_process_size==64. In contrast, you are talking about auth_process_size. But that one is 256 by default...
