My postfix refused to restart with the new libdb.  I also had a strange
problem with procmail:

Sep 26 15:59:14 narvi postfix/local[1230]: 70015F: to=<bem@rom.org>,
   relay=local, delay=2, status=bounced (can't create user output file.
   Command output: procmail: Extraneous locallockfile ignored procmail:
   Error while writing to "/var/spool/mail/bem" )

Postfix behaved when I recompiled it, but procmail still sometimes did
the above.

Both went back to normal when I backstepped glibc and libdb to the potato
versions.
