Cyrus before 2.3.12 has bugs in the skiplist implementation which mean that concurrent access can corrupt any skiplist file. The recommended solution is of course to upgrade to a newer version, but if you're willing to recompile Cyrus you can probably just copy lib/cyrusdb_skiplist.c from a newer version. And in cyrus 2.4.x, the user's own seen data is stored in cyrus.index anwyay, so the seen files get a lot less IO (only shared folders) plus the fixed skiplist library!
