Re: bad database error

It is *perfectly fine* to have old Berkeley DB releases hanging around. The
problem is that Apache has been linked against an old one. That is why the
problem occurs only via Apache.

In fact, this particular case is *specifically* covered by the INSTALL
document. See section III, part A.
