Hi folks I've just spotted a large number of ctl_cyrusdb process that appear to have hung, for no apparent reason:

S 19:17 0:00 ctl_cyrusdb -c The master was restarted on April 13, which is when the oldest of the ctl_cyrusdb instances appears to have been started. Thankfully the processes only use about a megabyte of memory each, so I can afford to let them accumulate for a while (especially since they'll probably be swapped out anyway). I suspect I have berkley db problems (woohoo!) but any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. I have a plain text copy of my mailboxes list, and a fresh backup. Perhaps now is a good time to upgrade to 2.2 and skiplist ;-) since the more I have to deal with Berkley DB, the less I want to have to deal with it. I don't know if these db sizes are reasonable: [EMAIL PROTECTED] imap]# du -h mailboxes.txt.`date -I` mailboxes.db db/* 16K mailboxes.txt.2004-04-14 36K mailboxes.db 8.0K db/__db.001 264K db/__db.002 40K db/__db.003 13M db/__db.004 32K db/__db.005 8.5M db/log.0000000004 given that we get relatively small mail volumes here.
