A bug in perl4 and/or the db libraries.  perl4 has bugs in associative
array handling where it will sometimes dump core.  One of my scripts
dumped core while it had a db file open, which I think corrupted it.
I have log files from which I think I can recover the data but I think
I want to re-think using db files.
