    Wendell:

    This error you are getting, happened to me numerous times. It's
    Berkeley DB causing your woes. Even the Cyrus documentation calims
    that Berkely is unstable:

    "...it has proved to be somewhat unstable and prone to locking problems"
    ( http://acswiki.andrew.cmu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Cyrus/
    WhatDatabaseBackend )

    I'm running 10.3.9 server with cyrus. You need to get off of the
    berekely DB format for you mailbox DB an go to skiplist. I have a
    script that I modified that was originally part of Apples Tiger
    Server installer (found the code on Apple's CVS). Basically in
    Tiger, they say that they are "upgrading" your cyrus databases during
    a Tiger upgrade. In fact, they are converting the DB's from Berkeley
    to skiplist. I took this script and took out the Tiger-specific
    parts and made it perform the conversions on the database files
    specific to Panther.

    You can contact me offlist if you are interested in the script &
    procedure for the conversion.

    Bryan
