FWIW, a direct binary (tarball) copy of the cyrus imap directories etc 
works between 3.1 i386 and (5.x|current) amd64

I had all sorts of stability issues with 4.0.1 and amd64 on this box, it 
would just stop at random and not respond to anything, but 5.something 
is solid.

My question now is :

What am I running?

I grabbed an ISO from here :
/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/200903060000Z/iso

uname is :

NetBSD foo 5.99.7 NetBSD 5.99.7 (GENERIC) #0: Fri Mar  6 21:22:43 UTC 
2009 
builds%b6.netbsd.org@localhost:/home/builds/ab/HEAD/amd64/200903060000Z-obj/home/builds/ab/HEAD/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC 
amd64

I expect that's -current, not whatever's on the release tree for 5.0?

I'd much prefer to use 5.0 than -current, so I expect I need this one? :

/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-5/200903070000Z/iso/amd64cd.iso ?

Before I re-do the install etc, is it possible to downgrade from the 
5.99.7 I have above to 5.whatever it is in the netbsd-5 tree?  I've made 
next to no config changes (password is it), if I just untar over the top 
will it certainly break or just maybe?   I'd really like to stick with 
releases rather than tracking -current, but 4.0.1 sucked badly on this 
box and -current hasn't had any problems in the 24 hours since I 
installed it.

For those of you in the clue-tree, any feeling on how far away RC3 (or 
release?!) is for 5.0?  A week or so or months?  I know it's a tricky 
one to answer, but are we close (weeks) or is it months away?
