Oh.  All my posts were about a 1.5.2 to 2.2 upgrade.  Even the
Sleepycat upgrade_db script didn't seem able to recognize the 1.85
file.  I ended up running "strings" on the database file to get the
values out (fortunately they were all ascii), then writing a small
Python script to populate a new database with them.  What a hack.  :-P
