The default headers are from 4.1 which failed your tests for db_create_400x. 4.0 passed the test so it's include files need to be the ones used. So....

I have a patch for cyrus-imapd that may apply in this case. Will try and report back.
Hmm, looks like something changed :) If you see the check results the first time db4.1 failed and db4.0 succeeded, so I suggested you set for 4.0. After you made the change for some reason db4.1 succeed and db4.0 failed so you did the right thing to set for db4.1. At any rate the include files need to be set to match the db version that passed the test. Right now, the configuration is not setup to do this.
I can no longer reproduce the problem. If nobody else can, I suggest to close the bug. Maybe a change to the db ebuild in the meantime fixed the issue, maybe something else, I dunno, but the problem is gone.
Closing, thanks.
