If there are multiple copies of Sleepycat on your system (e.g. /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib), then you have to be very careful that you're running the db_ tool that matches, which is why I don't particularly like this method.
As pointed out, 4.2.52 isn't bad if properly patched. You might want to check up on the provenance of your particular binaries and see if that's the case or not.

Excellent! Thank you!
Clearly I am using an old version: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.2.52: (December 11, 2004) I will upgrade that and see.

I haven't found the version of BDB yet. Anyone know an easy way to do this?
Any of the db_ utilities with -V will tell you the version: msporleder$ ./db_stat -V Berkeley DB 4.5.20: (September 20, 2006) msporleder$ ./db_checkpoint -V Berkeley DB 4.5.20: (September 20, 2006)
