Well it seems to have a broken db lib


Exim's db functions tester: interface type is db (v2)
DBM library: Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 2.7.5: (04/18/99)
USE_DB is defined

Test the functions
> open junk

locked /tmp/db/junk.lockfile
opened DB file /tmp/db/junk: flags=42
opened 0
> write abcdsf tesing

dbfn_write: key=abcdsf
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

So I guess thats broken

That appears to have opened the DBM file, presumably in the db
directory, because otherwise it wouldn't be trying to read from it.
I would therefore expect there to be files in the db directory by now.

Have a read of doc/dbm.discuss.txt. Down the bottom there is a section
called "Testing Exim's dbm handling". It might be worth doing what it
says there, just to confirm that the basic DBM handling is working OK.
