    Either Cyrus or the underlying Berkely code isn't large-file aware: this
    error was apparently caused by the cyrus.cache for this mailbox being
    2GB in size. I've removed the complete contents of the mailbox (apx.
    627.000 files, so that did take a while) and the cyrus files, then did a
    reconstruct on the (now empty) mailbox.

    Versions:
    Cyrus-Imapd 2.2.12
    Berkeley-db 4.1.25
    Solaris 9

    No downtime, and I don't think we should really consider it a bug that
    Cyrus can't handle that many messages in a mailbox. And I hope that the
    performance will improve now that it doesn't try to store mails into
    that mailbox anymore.

    Regards, Paul Boven.
