Thanx, here is the output of master proc, and it looks it has all the needed environment:

I tried connecting to local port 143, it connects and then waits forever.
After that, I get this into imapd.log :

And then many retries....
To me, looks like imapd has no more my LD_LIBRARY_PATH (master has it).

That's really interesting because in my tests it seems to have worked.
Could you show us "strings /proc/<PID of master>/environ" and "strings
/proc/<PID of imapd>/environ"?
BTW, are you running Linux or another *X?
