That is the same Berkeley DB error. You can stop posting these now. You may make more progress if you can back out the "improved" Berkeley DB library. You may also play with berkeley_db_read_buffer_size. The Berkeley DB documentation promises that they accept buffer sizes of 20kB or more, and their default is 256kB. If someone has screwed up Berkeley DB, then perhaps it helps to specify berkeley_db_read_buffer_size of 262144 (262144 = 256*1024). Hopefully they still accept that. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_02/html/api_reference/C/dbset_cachesize.html Wietse
