With 2.6.20-rc2-git1, which contain this patch, I have no more Berkeley
DB corruption with Klibido.¹
I'm afraid a lot of software project switched to Sqlite,² from BDB,³
because the bug this patch fix (ie. http://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/).
I've also thought, since years, it was an userland problem.
Ciao,
