OK, that's a link (which I was familiar with anyway), but it doesn't explain how *every* other piece of software that I've used (which uses db 4.1.25) works successfully, including various versions of Perl, Python, and may C programs. Maybe something is buggy about how courier is using db 4.1.25, but I've seen nothing either here or elsewhere that suggests that there are issues with db 4.1.25 that aren't solved by applying the patches that SleepyCat already provides (and which, BTW, Debian also patches their's with). Just FYI, I still prefer gdbm but I also prefer facts or strong evidence to weak supposition, and that's unfortunately what I see here. -- Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. Liberty is two wolves attempting to have a sheep for dinner and finding a well-informed, well-armed sheep.
