Can't mark messages as read after server crash

Hello,

I have Cyrus 2.2.6 and recently had a power-outtage.  Since that
happened, I have been unable to mark my messages "as read".  That is, I
can mark them as read in my mail client, but as soon as I restart the
client, the messages go back to unread state.  I suspect something got
corrupted on the server during the server crash, but I don't know what.

I've restarted the server, but that hasn't helped.
When I restart the server I see the following in the log (among a few
other things):

Aug  5 17:59:04 vis master[30267]: about to exec
/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/ctl_cyrusdb

Does anyone know how I can clean things up, so I can start marking my
messages as read?

Thanks,
Otis
