BerkeleyDB panic: Illegal page type or argument

529636Nov 5 2006 — edited Nov 8 2006

I'm running BDB 4.4 on Linux and every once in a while the application crashes because of BDB. Here is the output and stack trace:
<snip>
page 136: illegal page type or format
PANIC: Invalid argument

What would causes BDB to complain about the page type and why would the page type suddenly change?
