I think you deliver.db is corrupt. And whenever you HD runs full, you have
a good chance to corrupt the cyrus db's again.
If it's only deliver.db, you could simply stop cyrus, remove deliver.db,
and start cyrus.
Check the list archives to learn why you possibly can remove devlier db
without any problems.
