Hi Tom,

I bet a buck that you haven't read the RELEASE.NOTES or README.db
files. With the addition of transaction capabilities to 0.93.x there
have been a log of changes.  For one, there's the new idea of a
"database environment" with attendant status files, e.g. __db.*,
lockfile-*, etc and log files.  Simply copying wordlist.db from one
place to another is not a good idea.  Scripts bf_copy and bf_compact are
available on sourceforge.  

I strongly urge you to read the above mentioned files and use the
scripts.
