Interesting. Like I said, it's a dirty hack which happened to work for
me, not tested elsewhere. But of course we can try to make it work for
you as well.

I'm running apache2-mpm-prefork as well, running as the default debian
'www-data' user.

You probably understood that the idea of the patch is that all the log
fd's are closed, so the newly opened socket in imap_open() get's a fd
number < 1024. Maybe you could add some debug printf()'s to the added
patch to see which fd's are found and closed, this might give you some
insight in why it's not working ?

The whole thing is frustrating.
