Description:
------------
This is with the RPM install of PHP 5.3.3 from RedHat, so I realise I'm not 
running the latest version, however I'm trying to find the source of the issue 
(I believe it is a bug, rather than a config issue).

When opening a connection with the /ssl flag, it returns "Too many arguments 
provided".

To reproduce:

<?php
$mbox = imap_open('{imap.domain.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX', $user, $pass);
print_r(imap_errors());
?>

This results in the error message "Too many arguments provided".

Removing the "/ssl" flag:

<?php
$mbox = imap_open('{imap.domain.com:993/imap}INBOX', $user, $pass);
print_r(imap_errors());
?>

Still results in a failed connection (the remote server requires an ssl 
connection), but this kind of fixes the issue.

PHP info shows:

    IMAP c-Client Version => 2007e
    SSL Support => enabled
    Kerberos Support => enabled

Which confirms that SSL support is enabled, and the configure command 
includes:

    --with-imap=shared --with-imap-ssl

Do you know how I can debug further?

For reference a bug report has been raised on RedHat bugzilla:

Sorry, probably not a bug... the password was being stored in a plain text file, 
and ended with a newline.

I presume that because the password then included a newline character, this 
somehow caused the "Too many arguments" error.

However, it is still kind of a bug, because the password should probably be 
escaped, or a more appropriate error returned.

This does not appear to be a bug in PHP, which merely provides the
supplied password on request (mm_login()), and fetches errors from
an error list provided by libc-client.
