Dovecot-2.2.1's imap processes crash reliably when they use an IMAP URL with an invalid access specifier.  A backtrace and some debug output follows.  The crash is likely caused by imap_urlauth_fetch_parsed() returning 0 without having set *mpurl_r to NULL, and then imap_urlauth_fetch_local() freeing an uninitialized pointer.
