Please help! Probs with cyrus-imapd 2.1.9 and db3 - DBERROR db3: Unable to allocate memory

[Marc Sebastian Pelzer]

Hello,

i successfully compiled cyrus-imapd 2.1.9 with SASL 2.1.9 and Berkeley
DB 3.1.17 on a Sun Sparc 10 with SuSE 7.3 and 128MB RAM and get the
following errors in /var/log/messages after starting the
'/usr/cyrus/bin/master' process and try to test it via 'telnet
prime 143'. Telnet opens the connection and then 'hangs' - no
prompt from the imap-Server.

I read the mailinglist-archives, searched the SuSE Help-DB and read the
FAQ's but didnt find anything that solves the problem. I only found
questions from users with the same problem - but no answers.

Please help! :)

cyrus-imapd is configured with:

./configure --prefix=/opt/local/cyrus_imapd --with-cyrus-user=mail
--with-cyrus-group=nogroup --with-dbdir=/opt/local/db3 --disable-sieve
--with-auth=unix
