I don't think that idled gets restarted if master is HUP'd.  If you
can do it, what I'd do is stop cyrus, run idled totally alone.  If it
starts then kill it and start cyrus up normally.

You could trace it.  Do you see idled in the process table?
fuser might also tell you what process has the socket open.
