Welcome to the club. I spent a good deal of a day chasing this, and the culprit is that Debian stable (2.2r3, currently) comes with an old version of DB. I went to great lengths to ensure that cyrus compiled and dynalinked with my own DB 3.1 libraries, and the damn thing still crashed. The problem is that for some unfathomable reasons, nsswitch in Debian uses DB first by default, even though nothing is stored in DB files in normal installations. Library version clash during imap/pop3 service lookup -> crash. Your /etc/nsswitch.conf has a line services: db files Remove the db. If it still doesn't help, the system db libraries are probably still getting in the way, and you could try setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the correct place prior to running master. --mika
