SimpleDB errors after Debian 3.0->3.1 upgrade

I upgraded from Debian 3.0 (Woody) to Debian 3.1 (Sarge) last night. 
Since the upgrade, pretty much anything I attempt to do with 
Majordomo2 yields many instances of the following warning (though the 
commands seem to work):

Problem allocating database: 
/usr/local/mail/lists/greatcircle.com/GLOBAL/_aliases.D - 
Inappropriate ioctl for device at 
/usr/local/mail/majordomo2/lib/Mj/SimpleDB/DB.pm line 77.

The name of the database in question varies with the command being 
issued, of course, but the basic form of the warning is always the 
same.

Anybody have any idea what's up with that?

Also, maybe related and maybe not, mj_wwwusr and mj_queuerun both 
seem to run for inordinately long periods of time whenever they 
start, running up the load on the machine to outrageous levels until 
I kill the processes.  What's the best way to figure out what the 
heck they're doing (or trying to do, anyway, since they apparently 
aren't having much success).

My version of Perl is "v5.8.4 built for i386-linux-thread-multi".  My 
version of the BerkeleyDB module is up-to-date according to CPAN, 
version 0.28.

I tried updating to the latest version of MJ2, from the CVS server. 
"make" and "make test" worked fine, but I got the following when I 
did "make install":
