There have been quite a few reliability fixes in skiplist handling added 
over the 2.3 lifecycle.  Upgrading to a current version of Cyrus should 
help.

We haven't had corrupted skiplist seen files in quite a while.  I have 
only recently upgraded from 2.2.13 to 2.3.11, so I can't really say which 
version of Cyrus fixed the problem for us.
