[Pkg-db-devel] Bug#421800: Region size calculations incorrect for BDB 4.2

[Quanah Gibson-Mount]

Package: libdb4.2
Version: 4.2.52+dfsg-2

There is a known bug with BDB 4.2 where it fails to correctly calculate the 
memory region size set by the set_cachesize parameter.  This bug only 
affects Linux, and was fixed in the BDB 4.5 release.  However, there are 
still plenty of applications in Debian that would be affected by this issue 
at any point where they needed 1GB or more of cache.

A patch for this issue can be found at:
