It may not just be an issue of having /usr/ucb in the path.  LD_LIBRARY_PATH
may also be set to include /usr/ucblib early in the link.  Ideally a Solaris
2.x machine ought to be able to run all of its programs without having this
environment variable set at all.

I came across the same problem with some versions of Solaris. The fix
which worked for me was to upgrade to version 3.6 of the (Washington)
IMAP-2bis server.
