Funny coincidence. I just compiled dovecot2 on my ARM Sheevaplug system.

But, your panic should not have to do with dovecot. Applications are not  
supposed to make the kernel panic. It normally is the kernel itself which  
makes it panic.

Does disabling superpages help? Put vm.pmap.sp_enabled=0 in loader.conf or  
sysctl.conf. Other people mentioned a problem with that the previous days.

NB: what version of FreeBSD are you running?

Ronald.
