DBERROR: /var/lib/imap/deliver.db

[Alex Ackerman]

I have been getting this error for the last few days on my Cyrus-IMAP
server.  The details of the system are:

	OS: Redhat Linux 9
	cyrus-imapd: 2.1.13
	cyrus-imapd-utils: 2.1.13
	sendmail: 8.12.8

The symptoms are the the mail is queuing up on the mailserver once
Fetchmail recovers them from my external mail servers.  The only thing
that successfully delivers the mail is a restart of both the Cyrus-IMAP
server and the Sendmail daemon.  My log file is as follows:
