It is, indeed, an issue with the Gamin library.

The IMAP server has no control over this. This bug happens deep within the Gamin library. It, for some reason, makes a connect() call that hangs forever. The alarm call kills it after 15 seconds, instead of having the process hang until the entire server gets rebooted (or, more likely, until the server runs out of processes).

This bug should be filed against famin.
