Is db_recover part of the Berkeley DB distribution? It doesn't seem to have a
man page on my system. The DB on this machine is db4-4.0.14-20. I don't know
if it's the default from RH9 or was installed by up2date. The svn rpm's are
the ones from subversion's downloads page, but if I can recover I'll try
building both from source and see if that stops the crashy badness.
Thanks.

it was a hard sell, since he's a database person, and as far as I've seen,
once those database worms eat into your brain, it's hard to ever get anything
practical done again. To a database person, every nail looks like a thumb. Or
something like that. - jwz
