Are you using uw-imapd as the IMAP server (and maildir as the format
for the mail store)? If so the problem lies both with uw-imapd and
with squirrelmail. The first problem is uw crashes (SEGV) when a
client requests the status of the inbox while the inbox isn't the
selected folder. The second problem is squirrelmail/php doesn't do
much (any?) error handling, so it sits there spinning its wheels and
sucking up memory as it "reads" data from the dead socket.

I mentioned the uw problem on-list a while back, and Jaldhar asked me
to file a bug report on it. I remember doing that, but I can't find
the bug number (or any trace of the report) anywhere. (which could
explain why I haven't heard anything back from him about it!) When I
get a bit more spare time to sit at my computer I'll get back to it
and see if we can't work this out. In the meantime, here's a quick
band-aid for squirrelmail :
