'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group' at the start of a sync

[Sriram ET.]

I have just installed v6.5.2.1 on MacOS X Lion using Homebrew. I have
customized the simple configuration for a single imap account on my
company's Lotus Notes based server. When I attempt to start the first sync,
I first get queries for my password and then I get the following error. I
could not find any answers quickly using Google. Can anyone throw some
light on this issue? Am I doing something stupid?

 *** Finished account 'Cleartrip' in 0:04
[thread]: Unregister thread 'Account sync Cleartrip'
ERROR: Exceptions occurred during the run!
ERROR: While attempting to sync account 'Cleartrip'
