That's strange--I use a CNAME on our mail server (that IMP uses), and don't have 
any trouble.  I don't use the navigator much, but I've never had it crash the 
IMAP server.

I did just update my c-client from UW-IMAPD 4.7c to 2000a, and I haven't seen a 
crash when accessing IMP since.  (I used to periodically get "Document contains 
no data" when I'd click on something--Apache was segfaulting, and it seemed to 
be IMAP related.)
