Hello,

Reading about the recent thread for VLDB corruption I decided to take a=20
look at ours, again. vldb_check gives me about 3000 entries likes this:

address 1477640 (offset 0x168c48): Free vlentry not on free chain

which -fix doesn't seem able to fix.

We had several vldb corruption issues in our cell, all caused by a=20
misbehaving 1.4.something server which is now fortunatelly retired. We=20
were able to repair the mess with vldb_check on every occation but this=20
one. We are now running 1.6.10-2 everywhere but we still can't get rid=20
of this 1.4.x herritage...

Should we be worried about these errors? There doesn't seem to be a=20
problem so far.

I see a -dumpvldb option on vldb_convert, but that utility seems to=20
depend on 'cnvldb' which is nowhere to be found in the default binary=20
installation.

Thanks,

-Kostas
