[same traceback]

I'm not able to reproduce this particular crash.  When I follow the
directions in README.POSTFIX, everything works fine.  Could we be
hitting a library mismatch between the version of bsddb linked to
Postfix and the one linked to Python?  If so, that could make this
approach fairly dicey.
