Jaunty is no better.  I even recompiled php-imap and the latest libc-client
from UW and the problem still exists.

In fact, after watching UW IMAP compile I decided to never use it again in
favor of a native code PHP IMAP client (Zend_Mail).  There must be thousands
of incorrectly cast variables in the UW code.  The warnings coming out of
GCC make me suspect there are a lot of undiscovered security problems.
