If only I'd thought to suggest it before! We have had crashes in the
past, but not, I think, CPU loops. There are two possible causes:
(1) The retry data file was somehow corrupted, and this caused something
in the db library to go loopy.
(2) The version of Berkeley DB you are using was updated and the data
file that was created by the previous version was not compatible - BDB
does have a habit of changing things - again provoking a loop.
I would argue that there is a bug in BDB in that it shouldn't loop,
whatever data file you throw at it.
Anyway, I'm glad this is sorted without my having to do anything.
