I think this is fine for 1.86; Sleepycat recommends not to use that
version for any purpose (it also appears to have a different on-disk
format).

For DB 2, as I reported, we find the same on-disk format as DB 1.85
(regardless of what the Sleepycat home page says). So linking bsddb185
with db2 should work fine and have the desired effect.
