Ugh ugh ugh.
If I understand the code you've quoted correctly (without going back to 
read the rest of it), the bucket size, and therefore the file format, 
varies depending on the result from st_blksize.  This is hideous; UNIX 
files are flat byte streams and their format and interpretation should not 
be dependent on the properties of the filesystem on which they happen to be 
located.

It seems to me that the code is making some extremely bad assumptions, but 
I can't imagine how to fix it without rendering existing db files unusable.
