This means that either the database is corrupted, or more likely,
that the grdb file that was created with 2.1 on one machine is being
opened on another one. The grdb files in 2.1 are not portable, at
least not at the moment. This is because of a missing method in
the pythong bsddb bindings to reset the log files numbers. A silly
thing, but it prevents us from properly opening grdb file one
one machine that was created on another machine. In fact, it will
also prevents file created by one user to be opened on the same machine
by another user.

We hate this, and the newest bsddb module in python2.5 will have the
missing piece. Until then, one has to either use non-transactional
environment (like in 2.0) or export to XML for portability. The
non-transactional environment is both slower and susceptible to
corruption during crashes. Hopefully this will not be a problem for
too long.

Once we don't have an open database, errors will amass :-)
