I did read that, but I confess I didn't run the locking test. I've
done that now and it all works as expected. Further, the
OS/Makefile-Linux file configures USE_DB as recommended, so ndbm.h
confusion shouldn't arise. File src/dbstuff.h has #include <db.h>
which is the right place to look for the 4.1.25 version. Running ldd
on the exim binary confirms that 4.1 is the db that's linked in. Is
there something else I should look for?
Thanks for your help..............
