Hi Didi,

I have not tried to compile cyrus-imapd on my Solaris 9 box, but I had
a similar problem with OpenLDAP 2.1.24 in that the slapd daemon would
refuse to connect, and would most of the times crash.

To fix the problem, I had to explicitely set the 'ai_protocol' member
of the 'hints' variable to '0' (as it is in Cyrus-IMAPD, it was
unspecified in OpenLDAP).

In theory, this should not be necessary, or so I understand as the C
compiler should interprit the null value as '0'. I am using gcc 3.3.2 on
my Solaris 9 box.

So, you might try this patch and see if it helps:

*** imclient.c.orig     Thu Mar 11 19:28:34 2004
--- imclient.c  Thu Mar 11 19:28:50 2004
***************
*** 236,241 ****
--- 236,242 ----
      hints.ai_family = PF_UNSPEC;
      hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;
      hints.ai_flags = AI_CANONNAME;
+     hints.ai_protocol = 0;
      if (getaddrinfo(host, port, &hints, &res0))
        return -1;
      for (res = res0; res; res = res->ai_next) {

Mike.
