Someone here (Paul Vixie? Chris Torek?) posted the new db code here;
it's also available from archives. I wasn't too interested in it at the
time, but I believe there was also a sendmail using the new db code in
the source tree the new db code came from. Use archie to look for the
new db code; that's how I found it. Sorry, but I can't remember the
archive it was on.
The db stuff is admittedly (in the comments) broken and crufty in the btree
code, but ok otherewise. You really do need the new code.
Hope this helps.
