Yup, that solved it.

I understand. The files are long gone, so we'll have to let this fall into 
the "yeah I heard about that a while ago" category. 

FWIW: The files in question were sleepycat (bdb) data files. This only 
started ocurring when the customer upgraded from a Watchguard Firebox III 
700 to a Firebox X 1000. _According to them_, the software revision (7.2) 
did not change across the hardware upgrade.
