Problem: STARTTLS capability not activated

I'm having an issue with courier-imap on Fedora Core 5,
where imaplogin
isn't offering STARTTLS even though all the required
environment
variables are set by the scripts.

To test it I'm launching it from a shell script that logs
the
environment just before calling imaplogin, which confirms
the variables
are set. 

Altering them changes the behaviour of imaplogin so I'm
pretty sure it
is seeing all the variables.

The essence of the problem seems to be that

courier-imap/imap/capability.c have_starttls()

isn't seeing IMAP_STARTTLS=Y or
COURIERTLS=/usr/bin/couriertls

Any suggestions on how I can further debug this?

Secondly, a bug... I think (source package
courier-imap-4.1.2).

The function have_starttls() looks for IMAP_STARTTLS but in
imapd-ssl.dist.in its defined as IMAPDSTARTTLS.

Is this intentional, or has something been inadvertently
changed to
support imaps and inadvertently broken STARTTLS for
imaplogin ?

Add some printf's into the code. Find out whether the
environment variables
have been set. If not, find out why not. Compare the startup
scripts which
Fedora provide with the ones the native courier-imap source
tarball
provides. Then if necessary report upstream to Fedora.
