+PORT/README.

+anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:ucb/4bsd/db.tar.{Z,gz} and from
+ftp.harvard.edu:margo/db.tar.{Z,gz}. If you want to receive announcements
+of future releases of this software, send email to the contact address

+

+============================================
+Debugging:
+
+If you're running a memory checker (e.g. Purify) on DB, make sure that
+you recompile it with "-DPURIFY" in the CFLAGS, first. By default,
+allocated pages are not initialized by the DB code, and they will show
+up as reads of uninitialized memory in the buffer write routines.
