Wendell:
This error you are getting, happened to me numerous times. It's
Berkeley DB causing your woes. Even the Cyrus documentation calims
that Berkely is unstable:
"...it has proved to be somewhat unstable and prone to locking problems"
( http://acswiki.andrew.cmu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Cyrus/
WhatDatabaseBackend )
I'm running 10.3.9 server with cyrus. You need to get off of the
berekely DB format for you mailbox DB an go to skiplist. I have a
script that I modified that was originally part of Apples Tiger
Server installer (found the code on Apple's CVS). Basically in
Tiger, they say that they are "upgrading" your cyrus databases during
a Tiger upgrade. In fact, they are converting the DB's from Berkeley
to skiplist. I took this script and took out the Tiger-specific
parts and made it perform the conversions on the database files
specific to Panther.
You can contact me offlist if you are interested in the script &
procedure for the conversion.
