Problem looks to be localized. After switching deliver.db to skiplist 
format it looks to run more stable (not sure yet, have to wait some time).
More about what did found i will write later after i am 100% sure 
problem is identified.

One thing i noticed over all this days, if i completely wipe deliver.db 
it takes longer to make cyrus processes hang again than just only 
restart cyrus.

In some special way, you have right. But as example cyrus-sasl crash if 
it is compiled against 4.3.x versions of Berkeley DB.
And works great with 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7
So sometimes trying deifferent version gives some result too.
