I don't know the script > /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cvt_cyrusdb_all but i think it called cvt_cyrusdb > . Is it part of you start procedure? cvt_cyrusdb_all is part of the start/stop procedure in my rpms (and those based on them) which makes sure that all cyrus databases are always in a portable state (which means skiplist) after shutdown to prevent all those problems when doing things like a distribution upgrade (Just remember all those people having problems with wrong BDB versions). Now, some of the older versions of the script did have bugs and I have no idea which version we are talking about here. A quick tip: if it's only hanging with deliver.db, one could simply wipe it and start with a new one. It's not really that important, isn't it?
