	I recalled that the Debian package for Cyrus had some
decent instructions on this.  You can see them at:
---
https://mail.incase.de/svn/cyrus22/trunk/cyrus-imapd-2.2.13/debian/README.Debian.database

	That will get you started.  I have this at the bottom of
my imapd.conf:
---
# bypass BDB hell
annotation_db: skiplist
duplicate_db: skiplist
mboxlist_db: skiplist
ptscache_db: skiplist
quota_db: skiplist
seenstate_db: skiplist
subscription_db: skiplist
tlscache_db: skiplist
---

	So those were all of the different databases I converted
to skiplist to avoid any potential problems.

realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely
hoped that there wasn't an afterlife.
