Can you get a backtrace from imap4d?   Make sure your build isn't
stripped (e.g. "file /usr/local/sbin/imap4d" should contain "Not
Stripped"), and then launch:

 gdb /usr/local/sbin/imap4d

(or wherever your build of 2.99.96 is installed)

and then within gdb:

  run --foreground

then try to trigger the crash.

The subprocess which segfaults should drop into a gdb shell, from which
you can run "backtrace".

If you could post that backtrace to the list, then someone who knows the
codebase well (that's not me, alas) might be able to sort out the problem.

(note: the above instructions are untested, you might need to tune some
things depending on how your system is set up and on how much i've
misunderstood)
