I'm reassured that it's not your fault :-)

Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang)
Linux gcc.flexdns.net 2.6.10-1.12_FC2 #1 Wed Feb 2 01:13:49 EST 2005 i686 
i686 i386 GNU/Linux
db4-4.2.52-3.1
glibc-2.3.3-27.1

Anything else you need?

I can reproduce the problem at will, simply by starting bbackupd and 
killing it with signal 9.

Cheers, Chris.
