If that is the reason, could I put in a plea (for the next point release)
for the update suggested in bug #3975, where I suggest that it might be
possible to detect the wrong kind of database without corrupting it as it is
opened. (I've got lots of databases that are corrupt because I tried to open
them with apparently a different database). I hope that code like that below
should check the database before the load. (I suppose that the database
could then be closed before the try,try code at present).

>>> import bsddb
>>> dbenv=bsddb.db.DBEnv()
>>> dbenv.open(".", bsddb.db.DB_INIT_TXN | bsddb.db.DB_INIT_MPOOL |
>>> bsddb.db.DB_INIT_LOG | bsddb.db.DB_CREATE)
>>> db1=bsddb.db.DB(dbenv)
>>> db1.open("note.db",flags=bsddb.db.DB_RDONLY,dbtype=bsddb.db.DB_UNKNOWN)
