    OK - well since I was using 2.2.10 (fc3) and I wanted the 'autocreate'
    feature patches anyway, I downloaded Simon's src rpm - edited the
    cyrusdb_quotalegacy.c file with the 2 insertions as suggested and then
    did 
    rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/cyrus-imap.spec
    which definitely worked
    If that makes sense, I will uninstall the previously installed cyrus-
    imapd rpms and install these new ones and then re-run the 'quota / gdb'
    trace and hopefully this will give us more info to go on.
    Obviously, I am interested in the 'bc' option as that would allow me to
    move changes in and out on specific binaries without taking the whole
    cyrus-imapd apart and I may have to figure out what that is all about.
    I am somewhat maxed out at understanding rpmbuild at this point but it
    looks like the -bb option with the spec file seemed to work well.
    If I am doing something wrong, please let me know.
