Correct - RedHat-7, PHP-4.0.4

Which version of the c-client has this bug? All versions?
I'm running the imap-2000 update...

Gotcha! This is because the machine is a rebuild so the FQDN is in
defaults.php3, but that FQDN, doesn't resolve to its own IP address....I'll
ignore this safely for now :)

Thanks for the speedy reply :)
