timseive squirrelmail and dberrors

[Eric Smith]

Here is the setup

Cyrus 2.2.12-4ubuntu1
squirrelmail 1.4.8-1~dapper1
Avelsieve 1.0

When trying to get install a seive filter using squirrelmail/ 
Avelsieve  I am getting the following error in log mail.err. And the  
filters are not working.

Jan 10 09:37:21 little cyrus/sieve[27954]: DBERROR: error exiting  
application: Invalid argument

This error happens when launching the Avelsieve page.

I am able to authenticate against the server using sivtest.

So has anyone else had this problem, and what are the fixes,  
workaround that they have found.

Best

Eric
