Ah, I remember now and shame on us for not documenting it.  I'll record
it here in case someone else hits the same thing.

The version of libc-client that ships with CentOS 5.3 is too old to work
with Zimbra. We thus needed to use the later imap-2007e version.
configure needs to point to it, in our case:
./configure  --with-imap=/home/compuser/Asterisk/imap-2007e

I'll sheepishly add that to our internal documentation now :-(
