courier-authlib-0.58 dumps core at login

Hey folks.

Is it me, or is the courier-authlib port the absolute worst thing to
upgrade?  It seems like *every* single time I try to upgrade this
port, I wind up with nobody being able to log into my courier
installation.  Usually, it's a simple matter of a simple manual
restart of the daemon (it shuts down fine at deinstallation, but won't
start back up when portupgrade is used), sometimes it's a minor config
tweak.

The thing is I keep forgetting this little issue for some stupid
reason, and this time, I've got the darn thing dumping core every time
someone tries to log in.

The ports/security/courier-authlib-base/ port installs without any
problems, but it only builds and installs the libauthpam.so module.
This is fine, I guess, since I've removed all the other modules from
the authmodulelist config - that's the only one it ever used before
anyway.

So, now I've gone through the whole fiasco of re-installing my entire
courier-* setup, verifying ALL the configs for authdaemonrc, imapd,
and imapd-ssl.  Still, authdaemond dumps core anytime someone tries to
log in.

Anyone else see anything wierd with courier-authlib-base-0.58?

I have googled for it, and all I get are links to the various copies
of the ports/UPDATING file.  Of course, it contains all the keywords I
can come up with, but none are relevant to the recent issue - and the
current UPDATING file has nothing about the latest courier-authlib
update.

BTW, I'm the only one on the system that can get mail, because I'm
using mutt.  My Thunderbird and Squirrelmail users cannot log into
either imap service (imapd with squirrelmail, imapd-ssl remotely).
So, this is a little annoying, and probably a bit urgent.

I have the entire port configuration output if it's of any help.  It
looks like the config process cycles through 12 times.

Any help would be appreciated.

Lou
