That's a different bug, which is solved. You need the new cyrus master code that does pid tracking, which has been commited to 2.2 upstream. Is that the bug you always had? If so, you applied the wrong patch :( There is a patch for the child pid tracking/child morgue in bugzila (I don't recall the number. State is CLOSED I believe), you can apply that to 2.1 (but you need to also compare it to 2.2, I believe one minor mistake was fixed since then...) IMHO all that pid tracking code should be added to 2.1 as well. > How can i verify that the patch is working? I have seen that > setsigalrm logs to syslog.

The way I usually test for locks is to run The Mad Postman against a postfix that delivers to cyrus, and tell postfix to do something akin to 200 lmtp deliveries in parallel. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
