---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
The error states that a DSO failed to load, on further investigation this seems
to be because the included APR-Util with apache is normally compiled without DBM
(Berkley Database) library support.  We can validate this by using apu-1-config
with the --dbm-libs or --db-version arguments.  
This can be resolved by recompiling Apr-Util with Berkley DBM support.

The bug is actually a result of confusion between the various DBM formats,
namely mistaking "db" for the default APR DBM type, which should be "sdbm" or
"default".
