I'd highly suggest that any serious work with BerkeleyDB be
done with pybsddb and a more modern version of Berkeley. 
The bsddb module that comes with Python 2.2 has serious
problems, including not being able to link on some *nix
distros.  Also BDB 1.85 is way way old and has many known
problems. 

I ran the deadlybloddyserious example using BDB 3.11 and
pybsddb 3.0 and it passed with flying colors.  See
www.sleepycat.com for the latest BDB's and pybsddb.sf.net
for the latest Python wrappers.
