How easy is it to reproduce this problem?

If you run recovery on this same repository again, does it fail
in the same way each time? If running recovery on this same
repository reproduces the error, and the databases and log files
aren't too large, can you please compress and archive them, and
upload them to:

        ftp.sleepycat.com/incoming

and send me the name of the archive?

Otherwise, what I'll probably need is a copy of the databases
and logs that result in this error -- preferably, before
recovery is run, but that's not a requirement if it's hard to
do.

Also, Berkeley DB should always be outputting additional error
information whenever when it returns EINVAL, do you configure
your systems to log those additional errors? That might give
us more information to to work with, as well. If you're not
familiar with the additional error information messages, see the
DB_ENV->set_errfile and DB->set_errfile method documentation.
