Delete the __db* files in /nix/var/nix/db (after a making a backup of
the whole directory), then try again. At some point I increased some
Berkeley DB limits to get rid of these out of memory errors, but the
new limits only apply to new Berkeley DB environments. This forces
re-creation of the BDB environment.
