Hi, Rudolf. :-)

Great report.

The server aborted. That is usually not a good sign. ;) This explains why
the server is dropping your connection, though. It's basically a
controlled crash.

The reason that Binc can not enter the jail is that bincimap-up is not 
allowed to run "chroot" or "setuid" if it is not root. Therefore,

In this run file, -u and -g must both be '0'. It is quite safe and very 
necessary to run bincimap-up as root.

Perhaps this also solves the first problem - please report back.
