Frank,

If you think you can cut and paste from the bogofilter source code, which 
is in C, try extracting the dozen or so lines from database_db.c where the 
database is opened.  Then see if your extracted code generates the error 
message.

If experimenting with the code is outside your areas of expertise, contact 
me offlist and we can probably work something out.
