 They all dump ok, until the db_recover fails (after the second run), then
they fail on timedb & worddb.
 Though looks like its a db-2.7.5 problem I was triggering. Should have
checked that first. I added the recovery bug patch fix for 2.7.5 and it
doesnt corrupt the database any more. It now just takes up 100% cpu and
never finishes 8). Ill try adding the other patches tomorrow to see if
that fixes that.

 Yep, could still dump the keyring even when timedb and wordb were
corrupted.
