Alex, I was mistaken. I just deinstalled fam and installed the new gamin port and found that the real problem is that imapd is dumping core not gamin. Feb 8 16:47:58 home kernel: pid 58199 (imapd), uid 80: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Feb 8 16:48:01 home kernel: pid 58201 (imapd), uid 80: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Feb 8 16:48:03 home kernel: pid 58198 (imapd), uid 80: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) and dumping with an Sig 11 that I hate. I always think memory but switching back to fam it again works perfectly. Not much help I'm afraid. If there is anything special that I can test for you, let me know. I've got both compiled now so it isn't difficult to switch back and forth. ed
