I think this is a common problem of linking with a version of db that
doesn't work correctly.  I built mine from RPM on RHL 7.2, and the spec
file originally has a line that forced it to use db 3.1:

perl -pi -e "s#db-3#db-3.1#" configure configure.in

After commenting it out and rebuilding, the problem went away.
I don't know what version of db ships with Mandrake; perhaps you
should run 'ldd /usr/cyrus/sbin/imapd' and see what version it's
linking with?
