I probably don't know what I'm talking about, but... the log file format
changed[1] in BDB 4.3. According to the BDB docs[2] you'll have to
  
   1. Shut down the old version of the application.
   2. Run recovery on the database environment using the DB_ENV->open
      method or the db_recover utility.
   3. Remove any Berkeley DB environment using the DB_ENV->remove method
      or an appropriate system utility.
   4. Archive the database environment for catastrophic recovery. See
      Archival procedures for more information.
   5. Recompile and install the new version of the application.
   6. Restart the application.


However, I didn't try this so far (waiting for anoncvs to be available
again...).
