Bug#620075: cyrus-imapd-2.4: FTBFS everywhere: IMAP.xs:77:3: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments

[Ondřej Surý]

After looking on preprocessed file it looks like there's a bug in
calling croak(const char *s, ...) just as croak(s);, I have changed
this to croak("%s", s); and it does compile now. This was probably
triggered by enabling the hardening-wrapper.

However there's one thing which is really confusing - I was able to
compile the file sometimes and sometimes not inside a pbuilder (f.e.
when I have removed IMAP.xs it failed every time, but if it was
present it compiled) and I wasn't able to figure out the exact
conditions to cause a failure. Also the previous version cleanly
compiled in my amd64 pbuilder.

Anyway I don't care deep enough to analyze it further, since the fix works.
