Problems with Cyrus IMAP 2.2.5 on Solaris 9 on production server

[Shawn Sivy]

On a whim, I tried switching from quotalegacy to skiplist for the 
quota_db config.  I stopped and restarted the master, it created the 
quotas.db file in the /var/imap directory, but I can't set any quotas 
after the first one.  After that trying to get the quota of the only 
user or set another quota puts cyradm in la-la land.
