Most certainly. Most useful data would be:
Amount of RAM, CPU architecture sometimes matters, CPU speed doesn't.
OS/Distro and version.
Versions of SKS and Berkeley DB.
Was it a fastbuild or a build?
Did it die immediately or some time later?
Just by way of a quick check, the most common issue that I have seen is that
the SKS process is run as a specific user, eg, debian_sks, and that user does
not own the directory where the databases are being created, eg, /var/lib/sks.
