Usually, the problem can be solved by tracing with strace. This is because
the only way to find out what's happening behind checkpassword's curtains
is to look at system calls.

Try connecting to the IMAP server manually using these instructions:

http://lifewithbincimap.org/index.php/Main/BasicFunctionalityTest

First you should check that when authenticating, the server quits like you
first reported.

Then with a new connection, when connected, before authenticating, attach
to the bincimap-up process using strace, as described here:

http://lifewithbincimap.org/index.php/Main/DumpingWithStrace

Now authenticate, see that the error occurs again, and post the dump to
this list. Most likely, this will show what is wrong.
