Thanks!  I've gone ahead and submitted a patch, in that case:

[ 1112812 ] Patch for Lib/bsddb/__init__.py to work with modulefinder
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1112812&group_id=5
470&atid=305470>

I realise that neither of the people that need to look at this are part of
the '5 for 1' deal, so I need to wait for one of them to have time to look
at it (plenty of time left before 2.5 anyway) but I'll do 5 reviews for the
karma anyway, today or tomorrow.
