I took your tar and compiled it on my system with 
./configure --enable-debug --prefix=/usr/local/mailutils

I recompiled and linked (dynamically) my program with the new
libraries (attached is the Makefile) and...magic! The fileinto action
worked OK.

The behaviour is now OK. However this keeps us from discovering the
problem in the standard Debian packages. I will send you gdb traces
with the standard Debian libraries if that will help.

For now here are a few next questions:
- How can I fileinto a maildir directory? Is there any special syntax
in the mailbox specification after the fileinto in sieve? Ideally I
would like the fileinto action to "understand" the type of mailbox if
it already exists and create a default if no mailbox exists.

- Where in the sources can I find the procedure that implements the
fileinto action? More generally: can I provide my own callback procedures
(possibly overiding the defaults) for the sieve actions?  

- I can see a new vacation action is implemented in this version. Is
this somewhere documented? How can I use it?

Sorry for the many questions.
If there is anything I can contribute back (even in documentation or
anything please let me know). I 'll be working with mailutils for the
development of a delivery agent to suit our custom needs so I will
also test other sieve actions (namely reject,redirect, discard and the
new vacation) and other Mailutils' functionalities. I intend to use as
much of your good framework as possible.
