IMAP access problem

I'm having difficulty using vm to access an IMAP mailbox.  The IMAP
server is one I configured myself on a redhat linux box and which is
invoked as an ssl server through stunnel and socket 993.  I have no
problem accessing the server and retrieving mail with pine, netscape
mail, and outlook express.  I have not been successful with vm.  I get
through the login prompt, provide the password, and then receive the
error message:

   IMAP protocol error: "unexpected char (10)"

I'm configuring vm for imap with:

   vm-stunnel-program "/usr/sbin/stunnel"
   vm-stunnel-program-switches '("-c -f")
   vm-spool-files '("imap-ssl:mail.curless.org:993:inbox:login:test1:*")

I'm using stunnel 3.13, and the switches tell it to run in the
foreground in client mode.  The only other quirk I can think of is
that my certificate is home-baked and not held by a Certificate
Authority.  When logging in with outlook express, I get a complaint to
this effect, but login succeeds anyway.
