cyradm > lm returns empty list but mailboxes are accessible via

[alexp at beautybase.com]

I do not know what went wrong but now if log in using cyradm to
administrator console i can't get nither mailboxes list nor create/delete
or even see info.

What i did was patched the  system (instructions below) and now sieve
works fine..
