    Just for the record and FYI - I found the cause of at least one major
    problem, and possibly more. SuSE 9.1 ships with the BerkeleyDB built
    incorrectly!

    As shipped, It will only support DB_PRIVATE operations, which causes
    problems with amavisd and possibly nmdb and postfix.

    You need to recompile BDB 4.2.52 (that version specifically, unless
    you also want to recompile nmdb and postfix) with --enable-cxx and
    NOT --enable-posixmutexes.

    You may also need to recompile perl-BerkeleyDB.

    I've no idea is other distros also suffer from the same problem. Try
    'db_stat -c -h /path-to/a-database' and if it errors out with
    "BerkeleyDB is compiled to only support LD_PRIVATE operations' - you
    have a problem.

    Mike-
