Looking at some list archives the problems I have been having do seem to be related to Solaris, or certainly Solaris 2.9 at least. Other people running Solaris 9 have had the same problems. The libstdc++ problem I have resolved by putting an 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH statement into the imap run script and changing the shebang to /bin/bash.
Glad it worked out - hope you enjoy bincimap ;)
If you get a chance it'd be great if you could add your experiences to

As well as saving others the grief you've just been through it'd give Andy a chance to see if there are common changes that could be made to the binc install to support solaris out of the box.
cheers, AndyG.
