No, you haven't.
I have 148,194 tokens in the database, and I have this DB_CONFIG:

set_lk_max_locks 6144
set_lk_max_objects 8192

It may be necessary to increase this figures for lower page sizes,
Berkeley DB picked 4096 bytes page size for me.

Remember to run bogoutil -f ~/.bogofilter 
after changing these settings.

If you have the complete output of bogoutil -d in a file, you can
restore by just killing everything except DB_CONFIG and then using
bogoutil -l, just like it always was.
