This may be a minor RTFM nit, but the file 'dbm.discuss.txt' in the doc
directory was a godsend for me in solving those problems, though
sometimes it needs to be read and re-read a few times to sink in.
(Well, it did for me ;-)

FWIW, I have exim running fine on a Linux system but I'm using the GNU
'gdbm' system rather than Berkeley.
