whichdb returns "dbhash" because the "bsddb" module in Python 2.3+ is really
the same as "bsddb3" with a different name.  I don't have access to NetBSD
myself, so try the following fix and see if it works for you.  If it does,
let me know and I'll put it into the code for the next release.

In the open_dbhash function in dbmstorage.py, you should see the following
line:

"""
    import bsddb
"""

Change that line to the following:

"""
    try:
        import bsddb
    except ImportError:
        import bsddb3 as bsddb
"""
