That's good !
I tested again and was able to reproduce it again with cyrus linked with 
Berkeledy db 4.2 (in my repository).
So I suppose berkeleydb 4.8 is better at handling this case.

If it is rerpoducible, we might open a bug upstream.
Can you send the me a tar.gz of the config directory which triggers the 
bug ?

Hmm, the problem is that you might have a user which has both BDB -> BDB 
and BDB -> Skiplist migration.
We might try to always launch db_recover 4.2 then db_recover 4.8, did 
you try to call them both in your tests ?
