I had a system crash which, as it turns out, trashed mailboxes.db and deliver.db. Whilst trying to sort this out, I found that ctl_cyrusdb went into a loop. I'm sure it's a loop because 16 hours seems a bit too long to repair a system with 5 users and strace showed no change for the ctl_cyrusdb process. It would be nicer for ctl_cyrusdb to fail with a suitable message if it found mailboxes.db was garbage.
I also took the opportunity to change the mailboxes.db to skiplist. However, skiplist moaned about not finding a "skipstamp" - what is that, and how should I create it (if I need to)?
