Hi Janne, The patches between -4 and -7 are a cyrusdb_berkeley patch from CVS and the pcreposix patch from FastMail.FM. I don't think they have any effect in your situation, but maybe someone of FastMail.FM can tell you more. FYI, I'm currently testing -8 release which includes the two patches you mention (bug #2915 and #2915).
