FreeBSD Port: cyrus-imapd-2.3.9_1

[Rich Wales]

Hi.  Does a port of Cyrus 2.3.10 exist yet?  Or are you aware of any
issues with 2.3.10 under FreeBSD for which patches might exist?

I'm running Cyrus on a FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE system.  I need to upgrade
from 2.3.9 to 2.3.10 because I want to use replication but am running
into stability problems with the replication code in 2.3.9.

I tried building 2.3.10 from sources, using the same configuration
options as in my 2.3.9 build from the port.  I added one patch from
the Info-Cyrus list, relating to getgrouplist() calls, but otherwise
used the 2.3.10 source "as is".

The resulting 2.3.10 build suffered from problems with "ctl_cyrusdb -c"
hanging, and other mail delivery attempts hanging (or timing out) and
piling up in my Postfix queue.  I had to restart Cyrus frequently in
order to clear these logjams.  Eventually, I gave up and went back to
2.3.9, but I can't stay there indefinitely because I need replication
to work more solidly than it does in 2.3.9.

Are you aware of any issues which might cause this sort of instability
with 2.3.10?  If I can't find out (or figure out) what is going on, I'll
probably have to move Cyrus off my FreeBSD box and put it on something
like Ubuntu, where 2.3.10 appears to run without problems.
