Are you certain that this is the *same* problem?  Here is my output:

    db_dump: bayes_seen.old: unsupported hash version number 7
    db_dump: bayes_seen.old: Invalid argument
    db_dump: bayes_toks.old: unsupported hash version number 8
    db_dump: bayes_toks.old: Invalid argument

Please, notice, that mine is not that same problem as going from Perl
v5.6 to v5.8x.

What do you think?

Dare to fix things before they break . . .

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much
we think we know.  The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
