Ah, now I see.

RedHat has taken my cyrus-imapd src rpms and included it in Fedora Core 2
beta. Unfortunately they 'optimized' it in a way that breaks it on other
older RedHat distributions. My originial package builds fine on every
RedHat distribution from 6.2 to current. You can find it here:

http://www.invoca.ch/pub/packages/cyrus-imapd/

as well as sasl packages with sql and ntlm support here

http://www.invoca.ch/pub/packages/cyrus-sasl/

Let us know how it goes.
