Ok, the problem is due to my my.cnf. However, I cannot explain which value of this file causes this problem. I deleted it, and after reboot, the probleme has disapeared. I re-cp it, and reboot, and the problem was not here. I think sometimes, and with my.cnf options, mysql is too slow to be launched, and then, dovecot and others applications could have a problem.

So, I cannot explain this problem. On the other hand, it was not -big- problem, just a warning.
