Can you use two wordlists with 0.15.x?

Try doing a
	db4_verify ./yourwordlist.db  # might use db3_verify or db_verify
and see if that reports any errors.  You can clear those out by simply
dumping the database and re-creating it:
  bogoutil -d ./yourwordlist.db | bogoutil -l ./newwordlist.db

Also see if there's anything else reading / writing to the database
file.  You can do that with a "lsof | grep list.db"
