    I know this doesn't actually solve the Berkeley DB problem you are seeing,
    but have you considered switching your Cyrus databases from Berkeley DB to
    skiplist? Skiplist seems to be much more reliable. The conversion
    process is relatively simple and should take only 10 minutes of downtime.
