Ok, that's bad! From what we know up to now, the RAM on your server is faulty 
or, less likely, your filesystem is faulty (on journaling file systems like 
ext3, ReiserFS or XFS, those two tend to coincide ;-) ). Are there more 
DBERRORs on the other database files or is it just the mailboxes.db?

Yes, that's correct. You have to do that while Cyrus is not running 
(/kolab/etc/rc imapd stop) and you should also remove the files 
in /kolab/var/imapd/db, db.backup1 and db.backup2 before running ctl_mboxlist 
-u.
