Can someone tell me what the repercussions of rebuilding cyrus
with a different db, say db43 instead of db41, and starting the

Will there be data corruption of any kind?
The safest and most reliable way to perform that upgrade is to use
cvt_cyrusdb to convert your databases to plaintext using the old
binaries. Then upgrade the software and use cvt_cyrusdb again to
convert back into berkeley DB.
Can I assume that only files with a .db extension are in BDB format,
or might other files be as well, such as .seen .sub or .index?
Thanks!
