Hi Ken, yuou could upgrade or reinstall your bbdb from http://www.xemacs.org or any of the mirrors using: XEmacs <= 21.1 Options->Manage Packages->Add Download Site->xemacs.org Options->Manage Packages->List & Install XEmacs >= 21.4 Tools->Packages->Add Download Site->xemacs.org Tools->Packages->List & Install XEmacs >= 21.5 Tools->Packages->Set Download Site->Official Releases or Tools->Packages->Set Download Site->Pre-Releases May the source always be with you!
