I'm using a4 on Solaris 9.  In dovecot.conf, look for lock_method and 
try setting it to fcntl.  I think I recall seeing that mentioned in the 
changelog.  Yeah, there it is, line 210, under

2005-10-03 21:23  Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>.
         * dovecot-example.conf, src/deliver/deliver.c,
           src/imap/namespace.c, src/lib-index/mail-index-lock.c,
           src/master/master-settings.c, src/pop3/main.c: Default
           lock_method to flock instead of fcntl. This is at least useful
           for not allowing Dovecot's indexes to be used accidentally with
           wrong settings in NFS mounted partitions.

Hope it helps...
