Patch

I use the following lines in my Dovecot configuration to authenticate Active
Directory users:

auth_use_winbind =3D yes
auth_winbind_helper_path =3D /usr/local/bin/ntlm_auth

The problem is ntlm_auth has started to crash recently, and when it happens=
 the
dovecot/auth process hangs, making further authentication attempts impossib=
le
(using either authentication method). I'm going to investigate and report t=
he
ntlm_auth crashes to Samba team separately. Hanging dovecot/auth process,
however, is not something that should be happening anyways.

I'm attaching a patch that solves the problem with hanging dovecot/auth pro=
cess
for me.

I have already submitted a similar pull-request upstream. I'm reporting it =
here
in a hope that the fix will also find its way into the quarterly branch (the
quarter has just begun).
