I've been having problems with imapproxy crashing recently.  First, it seems 
to crash anytime you input a username with more than 128 characters overloads 
the DB_STRING_LENGTH and causes the whole program to seg-fault.  For now I've 
worked around the problem by extending DB_STRING_LENGTH to 1024.  Has anybody 
else seen this problem and have a patch?

Since then, everything has worked well.  However, in the last week, I've been 
getting lockups and crashes of the imapproxy daemon again.  Unfortunately, 
this time I don't see any errors in the logs.  Sometimes it crashes entirely 
and other times it just locks up.  When it locks up, you usually see three 
instances in the process table and they all have to be killed before it will 
restart successfully.  Any thoughts?
