multiple problems with imsp

Hi All,

I've been attempting to set up imsp using the code from current cyrus
cvs (uses sasl 2).  It compiles and seems to run just fine on a RedHat
7.3 host, but I run into trouble when I make an imsp connection (either
with mulberry or imtest).

There seem to be two problems:

1) ACL
2) imsp instability

My preferred auth method is GSSAPI.  I'm able to log in without a hitch,
but I can't seem to do anything once I'm logged in without imspd
bailing.

When connecting via imtest my session looks like this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[benp at tesuji benp]$ imtest -p 406 servername
S: * OK Cyrus IMSP version 1.6a3 ready
C: C01 CAPABILITY
S: * CAPABILITY AUTH=GSSAPI AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-MD5 LITERAL+
S: C01 OK capability completed
C: A01 AUTHENTICATE GSSAPI
.......snip.........
S: A01 OK User `benp' Logged in
Authenticated.
Security strength factor: 56

failure: Internal error: assertion failed: prot.c: 632: s->cnt > 0
[benp at tesuji benp]$
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I connect via gssapi with Mulberry I see the following in the
telemetry logs:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
a OK User `benp' Logged in
A00002 CREATEADDRESSBOOK .foo
A00002 NO User 'benp' not permitted to create address book '.foo'
* BYE IMSP server exiting (probably out of memory)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm unable to create any acls to give me priviliges to create
addressbooks since I can't keep an imsp connection open.  

Is the "probably out of memory" bogus?  "ulimit -d" reports "unlimited".

Ben
