I'm guessing that there is a version mismatch between the compiler used 
to build Berkeley DB, and the current one.  If BDB comes from a Nix 
channel, then it's built with GCC 3.3 in our build farm, while Tiger 
uses GCC 4.0 which is not ABI compatible (for C++ code at least).

This is exactly why we shouldn't be using the system GCC :-)
