How large is your wordlist.db?  What version of db4 do you have.
(Command "bogofilter -V" will give that information.)

I've had wordlists as large as 50MB but (as best I recall) never needed
db_lk_max_locks or db_lk_max_objects values more that 64K.  Your test
value of 1654360 seems overly large.

Some versions of BerkeleyDB make use of a DB_CONFIG file (located in
the same directory as wordlist.db) with contents like:

set_lk_max_locks 32000
set_lk_max_objects 32000

Check for DB_CONFIG.  If not present create one and try values like
32000 or 64000.

To see what files a program is accessing, I often use strace.  Running
"strace -feopen bogoutil -d wordlist.db" will provide lots of info,
including whether DB_CONFIG is being looked for when you run bogoutil.

My last thought is to download bogofilter-1.0.0, build it, and see if
that works better for you.

HTH,
