[imapfilter-devel]problems with libc5

[Holger Mauermann]

Hi,

imapfilter doesn't work with the old libc5 on linux. On one system it 
crashes with a Segmentation fault, on another system it sends wrong 
search commands to the IMAP server. Of course with libc6 imapfilter works...

Here are some debug outputs from imapfilter with identical settings:

libc5 system #1:
debug: configuration file: '/etc/imapfilterrc'
debug: USERNAME: 'xxx'
debug: PASSWORD: 'xxx'
debug: SERVER: 'xxx'
debug: FOLDER: 'trash'
debug: MBOX: 'Trash'
debug: FILTER: 'delete' AND
Segmentation fault

libc5 system #2:
[...]
debug: FILTER: 'delete' AND
debug: MASK: 'OLDER "30" ""'
debug: JOB: 'delete' 'trash'
[...]
debug: sending command: F00006 SEARCH OLDER "30" ""
F00006 BAD Bogus criteria list in SEARCH

libc6 system:
[...]
debug: FILTER: 'delete' AND
debug: MASK: 'BEFORE 18-Jun-2002'
debug: JOB: 'delete' 'trash'
[...]
debug: sending command: F00006 SEARCH BEFORE 18-Jun-2002
F00006 OK SEARCH completed

What should I do?

I really need the old libc5. Why? Small size of libs and binaries! I 
have a linux-libc5-based ISDN router that fits on a 1,44MB floppy. 
imapfilter should run on this router each time I connect to the inet...

Thanks,
