vpopmail does not create any shared object library files.
So if you change anything in vpopmail code, and it changes
the library file. you will need to install the newly
compiled version (make install-strip). You will also
need to recompile any programs which had linked in
the vpopmail library. Otherwise you will not be using
the new code you compiled.
I've tested the latest downloadable code and the problems
you are describing do not exist.
