There is 'vldb_check -fix', which retries to rebuild the hash chains etc
to give you a more useful db. But make copies of the db and verify the
changes it made afterwards; it's not a well-exercised code path. You
also may want to grab the vldb_check from 1.6.10; iirc there have been
some fixes for it in the last few versions.
