BTW, you don't mention which snapshot you're using, and of course
there are snapshots made every week so it's not that useful to say "a
snapshot of 3.2.0b4."
I would assume it's referring to the db_recover utility for the
Berkeley database. However, this won't be much use since Berkeley
doesn't seem to be interested in the compressed database code that
has been implemented for mifluz/ht://Dig.

I would try the utilities in the htdb/ directory when you compile,
though I suspect these may not help that much either.

Well, you haven't given us much information as far as debugging. What
version of Linux are you using? What compiler, libc, etc.? What
snapshot was this? Have you tried the latest snapshot? How many
documents do you have in your database? These sorts of questions help
a lot as far as tracking things down. Certainly, if the db_recover
utility does something useful, that would be nice to know.
