0.15.7 badly broken (two problems on FreeBSD)

I'm seeing two critical problems with recent versions of bogofilter
(e.g. 0.15.4, 0.15.7) on FreeBSD (using the port with default
settings, e.g. Berkeley DB 4.0.14, gsl 1.4):

procmail: Program failure (-25) of "/usr/local/bin/bogofilter"
procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded

 Subject: Nvi saved the file .procmailrc
  Folder: 								      0
bogofilter: (db) db_get_dbvalue( 'head:bulk' ), err: -30988, DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found
procmail: Program failure (3) of "/usr/local/bin/bogofilter"
procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded

postfix is the local MTA, and is delivering to the procmail recipe
from the bogofilter manpage.

Dumping and restoring the database using db_dump (db4_dump on FreeBSD)
and db_restore as described in the FAQ causes the second problem to go
away for a little while, but it soon becomes corrupted again.  I
haven't found a way to work around the first problem.

Both problems seem to be persistent with a given message, i.e. the
same error occurs each time procmail redelivers it to bogofilter.

Does anyone else have any ideas?  At the moment I am unable to use
bogofilter at all, and I'd hate to have to change over to something
else.
