The database file is binary, so there are bigendian/littleendian issues
between Intel and SPARC. There are often other problems with transferring
across different OS (e.g. Solaris/x86 v. Linux/x86).

In that case, you should take a look at the documentation for the htdump
and htload programs. Check in the htdoc/ directory of a snapshot.

The htdump program spits out an ASCII representation of the databases,
which is naturally cross-platform. Htload on the other hand, will load
databases from an ASCII representation. Should solve your problem.
