The problem is simple: sendmail was compiled using a different version of
Berkeley DB.

You probably have more than one version of the library, that's why sendmail is
using one and your compiled milter-gris is using another.

If you have sendmail's file devtools/Site/site.config.m4, just look at the
section that defines confMAPDEF, it will include a couple of lines with the
paths to the headers and library.

Another way is to do a `ldd sendmail` to see what library it is using (i.e. my
output includes "libdb-4.2.so").  Then try the same with milter-gris and see
what library it is using.
