Good morning.

After some time using imap 2006g without issues, I'm suddenly having an issue with it. I'm sure this is not the fault of the imapd, but rather is Solaris' fault (imap was not changed; Solaris was patched), but I'm hoping to get some guidance as to what to look at.

  Server: IMAP 2006g on Solaris 10

  Client: PINE 4.64 on Linux (multiple flavors) and Thunderbird on Windows

  Problem: Message saves to folders (both mix and mbox formats tested)
           often, but not always, appear to fail with error message:
           "Execution process terminated abnormally (d)". When saving
           individual messages, they appear to always be successfully
           saved despite the fact that pine claims the save failed.
           When saving multiple messages, which almost always tickles
           this error, a greater-than-1 subset of the messages is
           successfully saved, but pine reports only one saved.

  Here is an extract from .pine-debug1:

------ SNIP ------
  ----- MAIL VIEW -----

IMAP 12:04:54 10/31 mm_notify babble:
{server.example.com:993/imap/notls/ssl/user="username"}INBOX: Check
completed
IMAP 12:04:54 10/31 mm_log error: Execution process terminated abnormally
(d)
FAILED save of msg 309 (c-client sequence #)
        Save to folder "mymail" FAILED

------ SNIP ------

  The imapd process does not log anything at this time, and the connection
stays open and usable.

Finally, it seems the problem only occurs when the nsswitch.conf file uses LDAP for passwd and group. If I switch these to NIS instead, the error goes away. Presumably, this points to libsldap in some way, but I'm hoping someone can help me figure what it could be doing to generate this particular failure mode.

Thanks for any assistance,
Chris Miller
