I think that one is not fatal. The shell/user under which cyrus is
running just can't use some resource without limits (if using bash type:
help ulimit).

Anyway, if this is the only warning/error I'd say that it's worth a try.
Not sure how this is done properly in Edgy but maybe you can edit the
init scripts and add some "ulimit unlimited"'s there?

If this proves to be the cause, maybe it would be better to add those
ulimits to the official init scripts?

Peace,
