F<http://reality.sgi.com/ariel>. It has the patches necessary to
compile properly on IRIX 5.3.
+As of January 1997, version 1.86 of Berkeley DB is available from the
+Berkeley DB home page. Although this release does fix a number of bugs
+that were present in 1.85 you should ba aware of the following
+information (taken from the Berkeley DB home page) before you consider
+using it:
+
+ DB version 1.86 includes a new implementation of the hash access
+ method that fixes a variety of hashing problems found in DB version
+ 1.85. We are making it available as an interim solution until DB
+ 2.0 is available.
+
+ PLEASE NOTE: the underlying file format for the hash access method
+ changed between version 1.85 and version 1.86, so you will have to
+ dump and reload all of your databases to convert from version 1.85
+ to version 1.86. If you do not absolutely require the fixes from
+ version 1.86, we strongly urge you to wait until DB 2.0 is released
+ before upgrading from 1.85.
