Hmmm.... assuming that the debian box and the new FreeBSD box have the same
CPU architecture -- ie. both i386 machines the .db files should be compatible.
I /think/ they're compatible between a 32 and a 64 bit machine of the same
endian-ness BICBW.

Can you confirm that the copies of the files on the FreeBSD box are byte-for-byte
identical to the originals on the Debian box?  The easiest way to do this is to
generate MD5 or similar checksums on both.

	Cheers,
