...and the fact you got the SEGFAULT is the reason why your repository
was seemingly corrupt. It is likely that all you needed to do was run
`/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.0/bin/db_recover -veh path_to_repos/db', but
whatever. The point is the BDB practically promises to require the
use of db_recover any time a program dies without cleanly shutting
down the BDB environment. A SEGFAULT qualifies as such a time. :-)
