This looks like a berkeley db problem, although it could be a file
descriptor leak somewhere. Have you applied sleepycat 4.2.52 patches
(there are two of them, although the first is more important)?  Does
checkpointing of the cyrus databases complete successfully (look for
ctl_cyrusdb in the syslog)  I start master from 'configdirectory',
otherwise berkeley checkpointing does not work (neither does duplicate
db expiration)
