I should have said, I have backported the F11 package to F9 and still 
get the problem!

Looked at this and not sure what to do! Have downloaded the binary 
packages from the x86_64 subtask and will try them, but I would normally 
rebuild here first and use the resulting packages.

To answer the question in your other response! Asterisk loads the 
voicemail modules dynamically, with the imap version this fails as the 
c-client library tries to bind back into entry points provided by the 
voicemail module and the dynamic loader barfs - I suspect that symbols 
are getting stripped to early somewhere but cannot pin it down. The 
advice from the uw-imap mailing lists is "link with the static library" 
so thats what I have done. The reasons I do not use the Fedora release 
version of asterisk are: I am making changes to the voicemail code and 
need to rebuild; I am still using the 1.4.x series of asterisk server 
and have ported that latest release onto the Fedora build; I tend to 
rebuild most things here as we have made some mods to core libraries for 
various bug fixes. (nss_ldap being one in particular)

Will let you know how I get one.

Howard.
