OK - well since I was using 2.2.10 (fc3) and I wanted the 'autocreate'
feature patches anyway, I downloaded Simon's src rpm - edited the
cyrusdb_quotalegacy.c file with the 2 insertions as suggested and then
did 

rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/cyrus-imap.spec

which definitely worked

If that makes sense, I will uninstall the previously installed cyrus-
imapd rpms and install these new ones and then re-run the 'quota / gdb'
trace and hopefully this will give us more info to go on.

Obviously, I am interested in the 'bc' option as that would allow me to
move changes in and out on specific binaries without taking the whole
cyrus-imapd apart and I may have to figure out what that is all about.

I am somewhat maxed out at understanding rpmbuild at this point but it
looks like the -bb option with the spec file seemed to work well.

If I am doing something wrong, please let me know.
