Re: [Sks-devel] sks hangs

[Yaron M. Minsky]

What you're looking at is serious database corruption, I think, not a
simple problem with hashes coming in from messages.  That Bdb.DBError
bug is quite serious.  I would try running db_recover on the KDB
directory and see if that fixes it.  If not, you may need to roll back
to a backup or rebuild from scratch.

By the way, how long have you been running the system, and what is your
architecture and OS?
