 | I have no solution to offer you but I see a similar problem in a very
 | specific set of circumstances - I wonder if it may be related.
 | 
 | I get such faults when connecting to one particular IMAP server and
 | attempting to view a mailbox sorted by thread. I could reproduce pretty
 | much exactly what you describe by setting my 'View or mailbox to display
 | after login' to a mailbox (rather than the 'Folder Navigator' for
 | example) and my 'Default sorting criteria' to 'Thread view'. If you have
 | those settings see if changing away from 'Thread view' will allow you to
 | open Imp. Of course, if you can't get to Imp, you'll have to get to the
 | options page by entering the URL manually, or possibly change the
 | default value in config/prefs.php
 | 
 | When I've brought this up in the past I've been told it's an issue that
 | needs raising with the c-client developers. It's notable that the IMAP
 | server that I have these problems with does not have a "THREAD=" entry
 | in the result of the CAPABILITY command, yet Imp does never the less
 | offer me the option of a 'Thread view'.

My experience has been similar to Chris'.  I have had them off and on.
They seem to have been caused by the version mix of apache, cclient
and php.  On one of my machines I just switched to cclient2002b for
another problem and it has stopped my sigfaults, at least temporarily:-)
but no garentees :-)
