The one problem that wasn't too old happened when running two dovecot instances. This was fixed in Dovecot.

The file is first created to $prefix/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat. From there it is either hard linked or copied to base_dir/login/ssl-parameters.dat. It's never deleted from the /var/lib/ directory. That's the reason it's generated there, so that after reboots Dovecot wouldn't always have to regenerate the ssl-parameters.dat.
