I agree, too: move on to recent IMAP implementations, you'll get more from
it.

We started to move to GoogleLand a few years back and now only support
one box running UW-IMAP 2004a, down from six, and this support is only
for moving remaining mail to gmail (we quit local delivery recently).  We're
pulling the plug on a good chunk of our mail architecture.

We ran 2004a since it came out, on 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, and saw
segfaults, too, but it appears not to affect the user's experience, so no
bother to hunt it down.  I recall getting Mark involved at one point, but
decided
it might not be too important since users were happy and inboxes not
being corrupted.
