Was the gam_server to dump core or the courier-imap using libgamin? If it was the former it never happened to me, the latter could be a courier bug exploited by an unexpected different behaviour of gamin. > If you think the new version has a > chance of working with courier, I could give it a try.

Giving a real quick look at courier source code I can see a few potential bugs regarding missing or uncorrect checks of FAMPending return values. I don't know if they can cause logical errors and dump core, but surely the fam integration is not perfect. The quick answer is "try the new version", even if the probabilities are not many. -- Alex Dupre
