Subject:   Moving gdbm databases from Linux to FreeBSD

I have been asked to move a Python application that uses gdbm
(databases/py-gdbm) databases from Linux to FreeBSD. The actual database
files do not appear to be transportable; it appears to do with block
size from stat(2), and the fact that FreeBSD uses a 64 bit offset where
Linux uses 32 bits.

Short of unloading all the data under Linux and importing it again on
FreeBSD, does anyone know of a way to use the original Linux databases
on FreeBSD?
