I have been plagued with a problem similar to this for a couple of weeks now; 
I'm sure we're experiencing the same thing.  I did some troubleshooting on my 
end, though not in the same direction you went.  I discovered, as you did, that 
I sometimes get segfaults when I log into IMP 2.3 (but not 2.2--it works fine). 
 I have made two odd related observations, though.  First, I can login fine, 
logout, but then I can't log right back in.  However, if I give up, go to 
browsing a few other sites, and then click back on my IMP bookmark, I am already 
logged in and at my inbox.  Second, sometimes, while I am logged in, I can 
switch folders, but when I click back on my inbox, I get a segfault.  When I 
moved all of my messages out of my inbox into another folder, I got segfaults 
accessing that folder.  I tried to nail down which message was the offending 
culprit, but that's another story (there was no simple answer, and it always 
seemed to only do it with certain, though not logical, combinations of 
messages).

I figured it was probably a PHP problem (I keep my PHP CVS downloads fairly 
current), and that IMP 2.3 was accessing something that IMP 2.2 wasn't.  Since I 
am about the only one using the development version around here, I haven't done 
any more looking to track down what is causing the actual problem.  But maybe 
this added information will be useful to contribute to the discussion.
