You probably either want to steal the db file from a big-endian NetBSD
box/distribution, or generate it yourself. The on-disk db file probably
contains short and long int values in native byte order. I remember
seeing a message on source-changes when Jason changed NetBSD's
db-makers to use network byte order (so the db files could be shared
between all machines).

Take care,
