On my RH6.1-ish system, foo.db is: Berkeley DB 2.X Hash/Little Endian
(Version 5)
On my stock, but loaded Mandrake 8.2 system, foo.db is: Berkeley DB
(Hash, version 5, native byte-order)
Note that my main problem with the bsddb module is building it. On
the RH6.1 system I get:

I'm too tired to think about this more tonight, but if you want to
hook up on irc.openprojects.net #python tomorrow, we can try to wade
our way through things.
