in reply to re-tie the previous db

My documentation states that DB_File is limited to 4GB(2**32) bytes. Maybe you have passed that limit and the DB is imploding. Hope you have a copy with less than 4GB!

Good Luck

    A single key or a single value can be 4GB. A single database can be up to 256 terabytes.
