What problems does db3 have on these architectures?

I think it would be a good idea to upgrade to db4.2, but I believe this
requires additional code to handle automatic upgrades of the on-disk
database format, which you did not provide a patch for.  Even if a patch
were available, I would be wary of doing this before the sarge release
because of the limited window of opportunity for testing the change.
