Cyrus failure after full disk

Hi all,

I'm running a mail server with cyrus imap and postfix. I've had a bit of 
a disaster where a runaway process, not related to email, filled my root 
directory. I've take care of that and got most of the space back but now 
I'm not receiving email and maillog is reporting this:

Oct 18 14:55:53 pelican lmtpunix[32764]: DBERROR db4: Commonly caused by 
moving a database from one database environment

READY state: terminated abnormally

  I've had to reconstruct mail boxes before but nothing like this! Any 
idea how to repair this mess? I'm running CentOS 6.

Thanks!
