All bug reports about this code should go to the MIT +Kerberos team via krb5-send-pr or email to krb5-bugs@mit.edu, as +usual. + +It is believed that this "db" code originated from Berkeley DB 1.85 +and was further modified by Cygnus and the MIT Kerberos team. Some +significant changes to the hash code occured at some point. + +The file README.db2 contains the README file provided with the +2.0-alpha release of Berkeley/Sleepycat DB, which may contain +marginally useful information.
