I've just fixed the database bug that was causing me grief with
'make check'.  It was simply that  htdig -i  wasn't removing=20
db.words.db_weakcmpr (which I had reported earlier but not fixed --=20
Doh!!) which was corrupting the free-list of pages used when=20
compression was not as efficient as predicted.

The only other DB problem I know of is the problem of infinite=20
recursion when "weak compression" needs to allocate a page, but=20
mp_alloc needs to write out a dirty page.  Have you tried the hack I=20
suggested a couple of months ago?

Getting  make check  to work under RedHat and OSX would also be great.
