If this is really this issue, then UW-imap and/or c-client is really hosed. 
No other IMAP clients I know of have an issue with two connections to the
server at the same time (this may be why I am not seeing this issue - I use
dovecot).  Why should losing mailbox lock on the server cause a segfault on
the client end?

If someone could point to the area where the code is segfaulting - or at
least the last area of code which will run before segfaulting - that would
be helpful.
