I have it reproducible on at least three different platforms. The
segfault/buserror occurs somewhere in the db code, some internal
function, so I assumed it was simply a db-4.3 bug, fixed in later
releases.
I'll look into it again to get some reasonable information from gdb.

Ahh... I moved away from gdbm because it was giving me headaches. Long
waiting times when switching imap folders, which I haven't seen any more
using berkely db.
Should I try qdbm?
