I had previously rebuilt Simon Matter's cyrus-imapd-2.2.3-8.src.rpm and
removed /var/lib/imap and /var/spool/imap in an effort to correct the
problem, and tried some other obvious beginner level sysadmin trouble
shooting, but nothing was working.

I then recompiled db4 using Simon Matter's db4.spec and then rebuilt Simon
Matter's cyrus-imapd-2.2.3-8.src.rpm.

The reported problem just 'went away' after that. I do not have the
technical knowledge to explain why, but it works now.
