As a follow up to myself.
I've been building and testing 2.0.1 a little with garbage collection enabled.
Very informative stuff. list.c is definitely prime-suspect.
Thank you Dan Weber for the patch.
Keep you posted.

Meanwhile, I've been keeping an eye on runaway imapd's, and I actually
have quite a lot of them. Just happens that I'm on a dual processor
machine with only a few users, so I don't usually feel the slowdown.
Aaron,
We really need to fix this looping issue. I've been seeing it as well on
and off on one of my machines. And mysql's logs start eating disks like
hell when this happens.
I'm having that machine send me sms messages and set an at job to
restart dbmail when it happens so I can go and attach a gdb to the
runaway process, but it's not happening often to do me much good.
It's always perform_imap_search that looping, but I haven't been able to
get a real handle on it.
The list.c cleanup and memsetting newset has helped a little it seems.
But not enough.
I need automatic backtraces....
