Anyway it isn't a local (port) problem and it should be reported
upstream; please coordinate with the maintainers of horde / dovecot to
analyze the issue and give proper debug info to the developers
responsible.

I won't backup the update since it fixes a security problem but I'm
willing to commit fast a patch if I someone sends me one (I don't use
dovecot).

The commit message is based on the PR content which is based on what
the dovecot developers said.
