+ IMPORTANT NOTICE:
+
+This directory contains code of somewhat unknown origin that is
+INCOMPATIBLE with both Berkeley DB 1.85 and Sleepycat DB 2.x. Do NOT
+contact Sleepycat regarding bugs in code found here; they do not
+appreciate it. 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. It is not known at this time how well
+this code matches that of the 2.0-alpha release.
