Some years ago I mailed patches out to someone regarding
Berkeley DB 1.85 btree problems.  The two issues which come

1) The page split position is improperly computed. ...
2) The record put code has a "last page put to" member ...

I'm going to have to dig up these fixes, but presuming
I do, who should be alerted?  Just file a bug?  Recreation
is extremely difficult.
Definitely file a PR and include the patches.  If nothing
else, that will help ensure they don't get lost.

When you do file that PR, notify this list.  Given how
heavily the base system uses DB 1.85, I think there will
be a lot of interest in anything that improves the
stability and reliability of that code.
