I'm observing similar problems - Cyrus 2.0.12, NetBSD-1.5
I think the problem may be related to have several processes open the unix
socket at once - I observed it happened when my system generated messages
from cron - possibly at the same time.
It seems that /etc/cyrus.conf has support for either lmtp socket and
lmtpunix which is a unix socket but deliver only has support for unix
sockets.
I would try using regular sockets (and would want to if I had a mail hub
on a different machine) but do not know how to configure sendmail to use
lmtp to send to a different machine via lmtp.
