OK. That's helps heaps.

As for getting someone else to do it... Well - a) I wouldn't know where
to look for such an individual and b) I wouldn't learn much that way now
would I <grin>

It may be rudimentary - but it takes time to become familiar with "an
entire operating system's libraries".

I believe I'm on the right track now. If only imapd had some more debug
information available in the first place - I guess the authors wanted to
keep it lean.

Thanks!

Bryan.

Yep.  That's it.  It's "part of" perror and strerror that the test of
"errno" is defined, often in something called "sys_errlist[]".

So your best bet is to go looking for "Fatal Error" (which is *not* part
of errno), and/or "perror" and strerror and sys_errlist...

And... with all respect, Bryan, this is fairly elementary Unix
programming environment stuff, and you may be less frustrated by
obtaining the services of a regular Unix hacker (in the positive sense)
rather than beat your head against the wall much more...
