Sorry, but I believe there are enough interessting parts in imapd and also inComplaints about the code quality of Cyrus coming from someone who tries to pass an int where a char* is expected, whose patch results in returning random garbage from the comparison function, and who can't produce a stack backtrace from the problem seems a bit out of place.
some lib/* file that could be logged for debugging reasons...
The purpose of the syslog logging is not to output every possible thing you might want to look at while debugging a code problem, but rather to output helpful information at various levels on a running production system to report that there is a problem or to trace how something is being handled (at the debug levels). When I want to debug an actual problem such as the core dump you refer to, I run the program under a debugger or at least investigate the core dump with a debugger.
