 Yep, Solaris 8/SPARC, imp 2.2.6, 2.3.7-cvs, apache 1.3.20.

 I have had _massive_ troubles getting this combo to work, but none of
 it IMP's fault:

 - until a very recent recommended patch cluster, I was totally unable
   to use mod_ssl 2.8.4-1.3.20. As I require SSL for imp, this was no good,
   and I had to go back to apache 1.3.19/mod_ssl 2.8.3-1.3.19/openssl 0.9.6a.

   Now I'm at 1.3.20/2.8.3-1.3.20/0.9.6b, resp. and all has been well for
   a couple of days.

   I will upgrade the machine to 08/01 in the near future, It's currently
   running 06/00.

 - I was totally unable to use php 4.0.5 and 4.0.6. Had to go back to 4.0.4pl1.
   Last week, I upgraded to 4.0.7rc3 from cvs, and it has been working well
   since.

 Another issue: there seems to be a slight incompatibility between IMP 2.2.x
 and 2.3.x wrt shared memory. I'm using shared mem for session storage, and
 when I was testing IMP 2.3.7-cvs in a setup parallel to to 2.2.6, I was
 afterwards unable to use 2.2.6. There was a warning message about a non-
 existent (I think) variable key 9, and I couldn't find anything on the
 web about this. It went away after a reboot (ipcrm would probably have
 helped, too), and I haven't used 2.3.7-cvs since, while everybody seems
 to use 2.2.6 w/o problems now.
