ctl_mboxlist -r was documented int 2.0.x as to 'Recover the database after
an application or system failure.', but has since been removed from cyrus.

I would suspect that ctl_mboxlist -r is being started via the START or
EVENTS section of your cyrus.conf, and was designed to run for a short time
to fix any db corruption and then exit.

Before killing it, try to get a safe backup of your mailbox list with
'mboxlist -d'. You may also wish to try checkpointing your database with
'mboxlist -c'.

You will also possibly need to reconstruct a corrupt mailbox, if you know
which one is causing your ctl_mboxlist to spin.
