For quite some time I have seen dovecot imap exit with a sig11 without 
any other error message,
but usually with the frequency of between once per week and once per day 
(per server).  A few weeks
ago I finally enabled core dumping with debug symbols and it seemed to 
happen less often.  I finally
caught a coredump that wasn't overwritten.  I have no idea what on the 
client end may cause it, it has
happened to myself too.
