            Bug ID: 239318
           Summary: mail/cyrus-imapd25
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64

            Status: New

          Priority: ---

I use FreeBSD 11.3-PRERELEASE #3 r349549, cyrus-imap 2.5. When linking with
Berkeley DB I have intermittently gotten database errors, even though I never
specified Berkeley DB in the configuration file. I wasn't quite sure why I was
getting Berkeley DB-like files in the db directory (i.e. __db.001, __db.002,
__db.003 which looked like Berkeley DB files).

Lately I started getting the following errors from the different daemons:

 squatter[54803]: DBERROR db5: pthread suspend failed: Invalid argument

I found that I'd configured Berkeley DB support and that all the Cyrus binaries
were linked with Berkeley DB 5.3. I removed the Berkeley DB option,
reinstalled, and rebuilt the /var/imap directory and now things work OK, with
no Berkeley DB files appearing.

Suggestion: remove the Berkeley DB option or at least note that Cyrus Imap will
still use Berkeley DB for some things even if you don't configure it in the
config file. Also the Berkeley DB support seems to have bit-rotted.
