[imp] sub-folder problem

Just helped a friend get IMP set up on his box, and he's pointed out to me a
strange problem he's having creating sub-folders.

First, system configuration:

RH 7.3
UW-IMAP 2001a-10 (standard that came w/7.3)
IMP 3.1
Horde 2.1

What's happening is he's trying to create a sub-folder of an existing
folder.  The first time we try to create the sub folder, IMP comes back and
says the folder was created successfully.  However, it doesn't show up in
the list.  Subsequent attempts at adding the folder give the error "folder
already exists"....

I checked this out on my server, which I've been running IMP on for months
(but haven't tried creating a sub-folder -- created plenty of top level
folders..), and my IMP installation just "goes away" after I type in the
folder name.  When I say go away, I mean that it just displays a completely
blank (white) page.  weird.  My config is RH 7.2, UW-IMAP 2001a-1.72.0, IMP
3.1 pre-release (need to update somday soon... :)


Is there a known problem with sub-folders with IMP?  Or could this be a
UW-IMAP problem...?

thx
