That seems to be it. I changed all of the hash_insert to cyrus_hash_insert 
and master was happy. Anybody know how to avoid this kind of confusion with 
compiler options, put this before that in ld.so.conf, etc.? And will any 
solution for cyrus likely break future mysql compiles on the machine?

Once cyrus-imapd was running, up came problem 2 ... the dreaded Too many 
files open error. See my next message.
