Problem moving cyrus installation from 32 -> 64 bit system

[Palle Girgensohn]

Hi!

I'm trying to move an entire cyrus installation from FreeBSD 4.10 on IA32 
(aka x386) to a new Dell 2850 running FreeBSD 5.3 (amd64, or really EM64T).

I use DB3, 3.3.11, on both machines.
Cyrus imapd 2.2.8 on the old one, 2.2.10 on the new one.

I've dumped/restored /var/imap & /var/spool/imap to the new system. The db3 
files, deliver.db and tls_sessions.db, I had to db_dump @ old system && 
db_load back on the new system; it seems db3 uses a native format that 
differs between 32 & 64 bit, ctl_cyrusdb -r crashed signal 11 otherwise.


When trying to start cyrus now, I get all sorts of strange problems.

master[38368]: process started
master[38369]: about to exec /usr/local/cyrus/bin/ctl_cyrusdb
ctl_cyrusdb[38369]: DBERROR db3: unable to join the environment

ctl_cyrusdb[38374]: done checkpointing cyrus databases
master[38368]: process 38374 exited, status 0
master[38368]: exiting on SIGTERM/SIGINT

Also tried dumping and restoring some of the skiplist databases, but they 
get identical on the new system.

Browing this list, it seems that it is generally recommended not to move 
data from one system to another, but instead use something like cyradm's 
xfermailbox, or moving everything using IMAP, but this seems really weird 
when the versions of almost all stuff is so equal? But perhaps the 32 vs. 
64 bits are acting up?

Any tips/help appreciated
