Thanks very much for the help. Let's see:
$ sudo db5.1_verify -h /var/lib/abl users.db
db5.1_verify: file unknown has LSN 1019/5969166, past end of log at
1019/5955818
db5.1_verify: Commonly caused by moving a database from one database
environment
db5.1_verify: to another without clearing the database LSNs, or by removing
all of
db5.1_verify: the log files from a database environment
db5.1_verify: Page 0: metadata page corrupted
db5.1_verify: Page 0: could not check metadata page
db5.1_verify: users.db: DB_VERIFY_BAD: Database verification failed
Verification of users.db failed.
Looks like trouble.
$ sudo db5.1_verify -h /var/lib/abl hosts.db
Verification of hosts.db succeeded.
That looks OK.

Wow, this has been going for some time. I have to leave now, so I'll
close with an observation and another question for you.
I did a little more investigation. Between the time of the last good log
message and the one I listed above, two unusual things occurred. The
first is that I put my laptop to sleep, and the other is that I
installed the following packages (which don't look like they would
interfere):
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libemma-java
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libganymed-ssh2-java
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libjna-java
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libsvnkit-java
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libtrilead-ssh2-java
[INSTALL] libsvnclientadapter-java
Also, I noticed that there were about 1000 old .log files in
/var/lib/abl. Is this normal? Is there a good way to consolidate them?
Thanks again!
