[stunnel-users] Stunnel crashing

I have been having some major problems trying to secure pop3 and imap with
stunnel.  I am running a RHEL3 box with Cpanel.  I first started off by
installing a clean copy of stunnel 4.10 but it was causing numerous bizarre
problems.  1) it would crash after a few hours of the daemon operating, 2)
before it would crash I would be getting tons of 'mailbox locked' errors and
3) the occasional timeout connecting.  I eventually gave up with 4.10 and
decided to try to use the stunnel 4.04 that was already doing https for
cpanel/whm.  I created a separate config file and ran a separate daemon just
for pop/imap (I did this because I want them to be using different SSL
certs).  This seemed to be working perfectly as there were no timeouts, no
locked mailbox errors and it didn't seem to be crashing.  After about 24
hours however, the process had shut down.  I tried a few more times and
again after about 12-24 hours of running my pop/imap only stunnel daemon
crashes.  I should also mention 2 other things: 1) prior to having set up
4.10 on my box, stunnel 4.04 was listening for pop/imap without crashing (it
just wasn't being used however). 2) The other daemon running https for
cpanel/whm hasn't crashed at all.

I've included the log (level 7) for everything that happened in the 1-2
seconds before it crashed.  If anyone could offer any advice, it would be
greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
David
