This is the error orutine.

This is strange.

So why not run it really in a debugging session? Set breakpoints, step
throught the code. I know it is a pain (you'd have to recompile both Cyrus
IMAP and BDB with -g3 switch), but it is the last resort.

4.0.14 was buggy, 4.1.25 has seen one patch so far, but it is still buggy
and unstable. Folks at SleepyCat have announced that new version should be
soon, but it is taking time.

This is strange - it should name the unresolved symbol.

Is skiplist actally disabling BDB?

Nix.
