Dear Mika,
Thanks a bunch for the advice. I deleted db from /etc/nsswitch.conf and
viola, master stopped segfaulting on launch.
Unfortunately, IMAP still isnt working though. When I run:
/usr/local/bin/imtest -m login foobar
I get the following error:
gethostbyname: No such file or directory
failure: Network initialization
Also, I can telnet to port 143, but when postfix delivers mail to cyrus
(for example to the testuser account), the mail is never delivered and
the following processes are run, and never die (even if the box is
restarted, the same processes reappear):
642 ? S 0:00 pipe -n cyrus -t unix flags=R user=cyrus
argv=/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -e -m ${extension
643 ? S 0:00 /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -e -m testuser
When I start master, master shows up under running processes, but imapd
doesn't.
The following appears in the logs:

Welcome to the club. I spent a good deal of a day chasing this,
and the culprit is that Debian stable (2.2r3, currently) comes
with an old version of DB. I went to great lengths to ensure that
cyrus compiled and dynalinked with my own DB 3.1 libraries, and
the damn thing still crashed.
The problem is that for some unfathomable reasons, nsswitch in
Debian uses DB first by default, even though nothing is stored in DB
files in normal installations. Library version clash during imap/pop3
service lookup -> crash. Your /etc/nsswitch.conf has a line
services: db files
Remove the db. If it still doesn't help, the system db libraries are
probably still getting in the way, and you could try setting
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the correct place prior to running master.
