Description:
Reported as Debian bug report by Laurent Defours <laurent.defours@laposte.net>
I could reproduce the problem. Original report at http://bugs.debian.org/279634
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I created a BDB table and changed it to InnoDB afterwards. Then, mysqld fails to
start with the following error:

mysqld[9717]: 041104  9:42:19 bdb:  Recovery function for LSN 1 29242 failed
mysqld[9717]: 041104  9:42:19 Can't init databases
mysqld[9717]: 041104  9:42:19 Aborting

I found a bdb log file log.XXXXXXXXXX
Everything is fine again after its deletion.

This is fixed in 4.1 - where we have newer bdb version (4.1.24 instead of 3.2.9 in 4.0)
