I am happy to report that my changes to the 4.0b1 code that I submitted
yesterday via makepatch have solved my issues with milter-greylist
crashing at db dump time.  Before the code change, it would crash at
least a dozen times a day; it has not crashed once since yesterday's
code change (15+ hours).  Many thanks to Mr. Herrb for finding that
Sun article.
