The problem with Pine (and imapd) has been fixed! I did a backtrace on a
core file from pine, and figured out that it was calling SSL functions.
The reason it was is because I had openssl/openssh installed on the test
machines for syncing things out. However, the version of openssl that I
built on my 21264 was built machine-specific, so it didn't work on older
machines.

As a result, Pine was linked against a machine-specific version of openssl
(even though ldd didn't show it). I removed openssl/openssh from one
machine and rebuilt pine on there. It's working fine on both of my
machines, and it should work on everyone else's as well.

Thanks to everyone for helping out on this one!
