You should have a similar log line about the crash in mail.log (or wherever
"doveadm log find" says that errors get logged). Find those lines, then
configure login processes to dump core files. This probably should work:
service imap-login {
executable = imap-login -D
}
Next time it crashes hopefully you'll have /var/run/dovecot/login/core*
file(s). Get a gdb backtrace from it send it:
gdb /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login /var/run/dovecot/login/core
