For the sake of anyone else running into this (on FreeBSD 4.4), I added the following to the top of my .procmailrc file, and all is well:


	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/home/myaccount/usr/local/lib

(The full path of the libdb3.so.3 file was /usr/home/myaccount/usr/local/lib/libdb3.so.3)

(If anyone can explain why this was necessary to get .procmailrc to run, when sb_filter.py already ran perfectly well from the command line, I'd be grateful.)
