interchangeable Emacsen?

[Eric D Hendrickson]

I'm contemplating switching to XEmacs, but when I try to start up VM I get
the following error (see below).  When I then try to return to VM with FSF
Emacs, I get an error about a corrupted .bbdb.  Is the .bbdb file not
interchangeable between Emacsen?  I got this same error when I tried to
start up (ding) Gnus under XEmacs....

thanks,
