There's a bug in nnimp that Reiner posted a fix for, both of which
(the bug & the fix) I found with a Google search.  I'm connecting to
the same server (localhost -- ssh port forwarding) as multiple users,
using nnimap as a foreign server rather than a secondary server.
Something in all of that caused the bug to happen, and the .authinfo
is ignored.  I patched it with the new code and all is well.  I've
successfully upgraded to 5.10.2 and the world is a much safer
place.....thanks!
