 Yes, I have just found another thread about OCFS2 with Berkeley DB :
   http://osdir.com/ml/file-systems.ocfs2.user/2006-12/msg00025.html

 The conclusions of the thread are very clear :
   http://osdir.com/ml/file-systems.ocfs2.user/2006-12/msg00032.html
   http://osdir.com/ml/file-systems.ocfs2.user/2006-12/msg00038.html

 The hash database type of spamprobe also uses a shared mmap.

 So, if you agree, I'm going to close this bug report as the problem is
known to be on OCFS2.

 As a workaround, perhaps you would want to consider the PBL [1] support
by spamprobe. PBL doesn't seem to use mmap. Of course, this would
require compilation of PBL and recompilation of spamprobe to include
this support.
