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.

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.
