But I haven't change/install/upgrade anything, but the Dovecot. And 
version 1.0.3 gives errors like crazy, 1.0.2 from time to time and older 
versions none? Seems something in new Dovecot versions drives PAM crazy.

Hmm, passwd, dovecot -n:

auth default:
  verbose: yes
  worker_max_count: 90
  process_size: 512
  passdb:
    driver: pam
  userdb:
    driver: passwd

So either passdb or userdb, but not to both?
