Could you tell us more about your system, and post the error message=20
that you get ? The only way I know to make it crash reliably is to sync=20
huge messages on Mac OS X (cf. previous posts about the behavior of=20
realloc() in OSX and the way it interacts with python).

You can connect by hand (by typing "telnet whatever.server.com 143" in a=20
terminal) and look at the server's greeting message.

The stack trace displayed in your terminal when the program crashes=20
would be informative (to the gurus around, at least).
