Compiling Python 2.0 with Berkeley DB 3.0.55?

It may be that db_dump isn't compatible with version 1.85 databse files.  I
can't remember.  I seem to recall that there was an option to build 1.85
versions of db_dump and db_load.  Check the configure options for BerkeleyDB
to find out.  (Also, while you are there, make sure that BerkeleyDB was
built the same on both of your platforms...)

There should have been a bunch of them built when you compiled DB.  I've got
these:
