> Hello, Mark,

Hey, an answer from the author himself. I appreciate that. :) And I
absolutely love the program. Took me about half a day to get the GD lib
stuff installed (or, I should say, it took me that long to figure out I
needed the libpng library first), but it was worth my while. I especially
like the easy way you can customize your own events.

That may be it. In fact, today I noticed that when I feed graphdefang a new
/var/log/maillog, it seems to have completely forgotten about everything
before! I was gonna write about that as soon as I got the missing events
solved. :)

Though I must say, that I have never had a problem with DB_File before. And
I use it extensively to interface with a DRAC's "hash" database.

I saw that. But I do not have those palette errors described there.

I could update my BerkeleyDB; but that would be a last resort measure; as
this is integral to the system, and also used by sendmail et al. And I do
not potentially want to break such a vital part of the system.

Is there not an easy test I can do to test the functionality of the
SummaryDB? I seems created alright. It is about 5MB (ca. two weeks worth of
data).

At any rate, I appreciate your help,
