I remember there were padding issues way back when (fix still in the
db4.3 diff) and the hppa porters were not altogether helpful then.  The
asm appears to be the same as then, though __db_mpool_hash has changed.

If you like.  Personally I'd like to get db4.5 into testing as soon as
the hppa -java packges get pruned from unstable (or java works again,
though I'm not holding my breath).
