[Dovecot] Seg fault in dovecot/auth 2.0.15

Folks:

I've been running Dovecot 2.0.7 on a Qmail / Vpopmail installation built on Debian Squeeze, with no problems for about a year. Dovecot is used for IMAP/S auth only.

Dovecot is built from source. I just upgraded to 2.0.15 but it segfaults whenever an IMAP auth is attempted, regardless of the user who tries to login, whether by webmail (Roundmail) Android phone (K-9 Mail) or iPad (Roundmail)

I downgraded to 2.0.13 but the segfault persisted. Re-installed 2.0.7 and that cleared it right up.

Here's the pertinent details from 2.0.15.

Anything else I can provide?

Here's a failed login transaction from /var/log/dovecot

I ought to mention that /usr/local/lib/dovecot/auth is empty.

Here's the backtrace:
