If it will let you try to dump it now, if you don't already have a backup.
If the dump has only through revision 4, then it looks like you have a
problem.

If you have a backup, you might try converting to an fs backend. bdb is
typically stable, but on certain configurations it acts up. This is
a pretty bad corruption, so you might want to switch over; clients won't
notice.
