berkeley DB problem

[Net Llama!]

This one's for any berkeley DB experts out there.  I use berkeleyDB as 
the backend for my movable type blog.  About 10 days ago the partition 
where it resides filled up (this isn't my box, don't blame me), and 
caused some corruption to the DB.

I've been trying to fix it with the assorted BDB tools (db_recover, 
db_dump) but i keep running into problems:

$ db_dump -f entry.db.out entry.db
db_dump: page 206: illegal page type or format
db_dump: PANIC: Invalid argument
db_dump: DB->stat: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
db_dump: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
db_dump: close: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
db_dump: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
db_dump: dbenv->close: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery

$ db_recover -v
db_recover: unable to join the environment
db_recover: Recovery complete at Tue Aug 17 17:47:41 2004
db_recover: Maximum transaction id 80000000 Recovery checkpoint [0][0]

If I run db_recover again, then it stops complaining about 'unable to 
join the environment' and just spits out the 'normal' output but nothing 
is fixed, as I still can't dump the DB to a flatfile.

Anyone have a few clues to throw me?
