How is it going with the problem?

Could this be a Solaris only problem. Asking as I am using OpenBSD. And I have 
use all releases from 2.2.6 to 2.2.10 on OpenBSD 3.5 and 3.6 and never ever 
had a Cyrus crash or a corrupt mailbox.

I am working for a Sun microsystems partner and have a customer that 
eventually want to use Cyrus on a couple of 240 servers. So I also have an 
interest in this case.

Do you have much load ?
(My load is not that high)
