I had the same kind of problem during development of ldap auth module.
the problem was only existing on linux. it was dependent of the compiler.
in fact, when compiling, some basic libs weren't found so the compiler 
was using default once, without a good function prototype.
turn verbose on when compiling and see if you have warning messages.
else, set maximum verbose to tpop3d and restart it.....

I'm waiting for you.

Cheers,
