This is a very weird problem. I did a standard apt-get upgrade on Debian and 
got Courier IMAP 4.9.3-4. On upgrade all worked fine, however within 2 hours 
the imapd stopped acknowledging successful logins. When it works, it returns "1 
OK LOGIN Ok.". When it stops working, it returns nothing. The state, as I know 
it, is thus:


*         It will acknowledge and log failed logins

*         It will not acknowledge or log successful logins and it will not 
accept commands after a valid login is supplied

*         The auth backend is mysql, which it successfully queries

*         It clearly knows the difference between good and bad logins as it 
never fails to acknowledge bad ones

Courier pop3 works fine, even when imap is failing.

A reboot fixes the issue for a random period of time - typically no more than 2 
hours. Nothing is logged that would indicate why it is doing this. I have 
downgraded back to 4.8.0-3 and the issue still exists. I don't recall the 
version that it was on pre-upgrade, it may well have been less than 4.8.0-3.

Anyone have any clue what might be causing this?
