OK, I installed db4-utils and ran the following commands:

bogoutil.0.93 -v --db-verify wordlist.db
bogoutil: database wordlist.db does not verify: DB_VERIFY_BAD: Database
verification failed


cd .bogofilter # empty dir
db_dump -r ../.bogofilter.bak/wordlist.db > wordlist.saved
# wordlist.saved is 98M
db_load wordlist.db < wordlist.saved
db_load: line 1: unexpected format

worldlist.save looks like this:

[root at batmobile .bogofilter]# head wordlist.saved
 2430
 2f00000004010000b7f43101
 24302e30
 0c0000000000000078ca3101
 24302e3030
 180000001c00000050f43101
 24302e303033

 24302e303035
 000000000100000039f43101

Am I doing something wrong, or is my DB hosed?

Cheers,
