Something in the interchange is violating somebody else's space. It is repeatable 100% of the time. Just run fetchmail against a UW imap setup with a self-signed certificate. After fetchmail is run, subsequent imap mail server access by any mail client will then generate the imapd PAM when the folders are accessed. These may be a few more clues to help. I hope. Again, if you need more information, just ask.
