Thank you for clarifying, that was confusing in your first e-mail.

I was merely pointing out the fact that recompiling an SRPM from a different
distribution is not supported or recommended, and therefore 'bastardizing'
the OS. It was unclear what you had done from your first mail, but it
sounded awfully close to "I rebuilt the FC2 RPM on my CentOS box". If you
were offended by my tone, I appologize, but I'd recommend getting some
thicker skin in the future...I know perfectly well that RedHat doesn't ship
bug free software, or even software that is compatible with other software
in the distro. Reporting the problem is appreciated, but as I said, it was
unclear if you were reporting a problem with CentOS's RPM or FC2's RPM.

Unfortunately the backtrace isn't terribly useful.

The debug RPMs are stored at http://vault.centos.org/debuginfo *but* it
appears that the cyrus-* rpms are missing. 

Do you have access to a true RHEL 4 machine? Can this be replicated there?
If so, reporting the issue upstream would be best, with an entry in CentOS's
bug tracker with a pointer to the upstream bugzilla. If it can't be
replicated there, filing a bug report with CentOS would be the best course
of action.
