Ok, to be more exact:
Solaris 7 (sparc)
cyrus 2.0.14
cyrus-sasl 1.5.24
Berkeley DB 3.2.9
Postfix 20010228-pl03
I have about 120 users on the system, half of them IMAP, the other half
POP.
I've found a way to "restore" mailboxes.db. I take a copy that hasn't
been corrupted, copy it over to /var/imap/mailboxes.db and run
reconstruct -r user. This seems to fix the problem for a couple hours,
but then spontaneously I get the same errors again resulting in cyrus
failing to respond to any requests.
Any ideas what's causing this corruption and how to prevent it?
