[imp] IMP and Secure IMAP

Hey all,

I (finally) got my Cyrus server doing secure Imap. I can check my mail via 
secure IMAP from an external IMAP client (NS 6.2.2).

However, IMP seems to have a huge problem with doing secure IMAP. The only 
possible reason I can think of is that my certificate is self-generated and 
not by a CA. Netscape warns that the certificate is not from a CA it 
recognizes, and then moves on. I don't know if this bothers IMP or not.

 From my imapd logs I get:

May 22 09:42:32 bonanza imapd[24299]: accepted connection
May 22 09:42:32 bonanza imapd[24299]: TLS engine: cannot load CA data
May 22 09:42:32 bonanza master[24961]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd
May 22 09:42:32 bonanza service-imaps[24961]: executed
May 22 09:43:02 bonanza master[23695]: process 24922 exited, status 0

Is there a way I can get more debug output from IMP to figure out what's going on?

I have both ssl and non ssl versions of my server configured in servers.php, 
the only difference being protocol is 'imap/ssl' and port is '993'.
