:-(

It would help if you report this to Eugene Crosser <crosser at average
dot org>, preferably including a backtrace ("bt" in gdb) off a debugging
build (with -g, without -s or -fomit-frame-pointer).

I've counted your vote for changing the log message in the official
popa3d.  It's a trivial change, but previously I hesitated to do it as
it would mean duplicate logging of the IP address information (it's
not good to not log connecting addresses prior to authentication as
well).
