You needed to run db_recover-4.1 from /var/lib/imap/db/ before you
started the newly compiled cyrus-imapd.  Otherwise, dump mailbox list file
(ctl_mboxlist -d), delete other berkeley dbs (deliver, tls_sessions and
annotations).  Then re-create mboxlist (ctl_mboxlist -u) and restart the
server.

I ran db_recover-4.1 before the upgrade and had no problems.  Double check
for other dependencies of db-4.1 that possibly made it to
cyrus-imapd|sasl (like heimdal if you use it).
