If *the problem* was in fact BDB, it would be biting many more folks
really hard and David wouldn't be the only one giving up. I have been
running SKS on FreeBSD servers for something like 7 years and I can't
remember having any BDB problems at all. The databases are on local
UFS2 filesystems and I don't mess with keydumps. Back when I started I
went through the pain of doing a full database import from a keydump,
and then trashed the keydump. Perhaps the folks who have BDB problems
are the ones who mix keydump and BDB key storage?
For the record, my current mix is:
FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p9
BDB 5.3.28
SKS 1.1.5
Thanks David for sticking at it and contributing your resources for so
long.
