Hi


5625 is not Dead but in state of uninterruptible sleep, usually  
waiting for IO.
cvt_cyrusdb is used to change the databaseformat of a cyrusdatabase  
from one format to another. In your case the deliver.db is changed  
from berkeley to skiplist. This should only be nesseary if you changed  
your databaseformat in /etc/imapd.conf. I don't know the script  
/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cvt_cyrusdb_all but i think it called cvt_cyrusdb  
. Is it part of you start procedure?

Which Cyrus verson do you run?
what does  "file /var/lib/imap/deliver.db" report
post your cyrus.conf and your imapd.conf

I don't see any other cyrus proceses so i think they will get started after
/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cvt_cyrusdb_all has finished.

are there any elated errors in /var/log/messages /var/log/localmessages?
