Timsieved problem

[Eric Minto]

I've been pulling my hair out trying to solve a problem with timsieved. 
 Cyrus-master doesn't successfully start it.  I've read through nearly 
all of the archives to this list and have tried all the posted solutions:

1. Made sure it (and the rest of Cyrus) was not starting via inetd or xinetd
2. Made sure there is an entry for sieve in /etc/services
3. Made sure there is an entry for timsieved in /etc/cyrus.conf
4. Tried Ken Murchison's patch regarding a workaround for 
getenv(CYRUS_SERVICE) errors. (thanks, Ken!)

It worked perfectly for quite a while until a few weeks ago when we had 
to repair/reboot the server due to an overheating proc.  Timsieved 
stopped working that day, and since then we have reinstalled cyrus from 
the same SRPM we previously used, and we tried the latest with and 
without a few patches.

The rest of Cyrus works fine.  Incoming email is still filtered by 
sieve.  But without timsieved running, users can't edit their own sieve 
scripts (via an IMP interface that previously worked).

Any thoughts on how to either get timsieve to start, or is there a 
suitable replacement for timsieved?

Config files follow.
