Ok, just for the record, and so this thread has a solid ending, 
I've tracked down my error. Perhaps my trials will help someone
else down the road.

I have written a patch which adds DRAC capabilities to courier. It
is not a pretty patch, and it doesn't make DRAC configurable. If it
did, I would write up some doco and submit it. As it is, it's about 
10 lines of poorly written C. 

With my new custom RPM I was playing around with different configure 
options. As I've mentioned I used --with-trashquota. In addition 
I tend to use --enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs (though I
wish the world was perfect and I didn't have to). This time around
I also added --without-ipv6, seeing as I didn't think we'd need it
for this RPM. Well, that is the part that broke my patch. I had
previously used strrchr to remove the non-ipv4 stuff from 
"::ffff:127.0.0.1". Well, when there wasn't any non-ipv4 stuff, 
that resulted in very bad things. I've now fixed my RPM and all
is well in the world.

The moral of the story:  Change one thing at a time, and test
each and every time.

Thanks Sam.
