[Dovecot] Busyloop in dovecot-auth

dovecot-1.0.beta3

Dovecot itself runs well, and was easy to confirgure with LDAP. However, I am 
seeing a cpu busy-loop in dovecot-auth. Is this a known issue, or do you know 
why it happens? If needed I can go deeper if so required.

    PID USERNAME LWP PRI NICE  SIZE   RES STATE    TIME    CPU COMMAND
  26440 root       1  10    0 4232K 2096K cpu/0   40.9H 49.73% dovecot-auth

This is a test box, it has no load/users, except when I telnet to port 110 to 
test LDAP authentication.
