I have no idea why it is using this name. But remove it and restart.

The error message means that the dupefile is corrupt, which is usually 
caused by a crash or kill -9 or similar. Unfortunately "usually" also 
means that it can "just" happen for no obvious reason. That's Berkley DB 
for you.

The trouble is that there isn't anything any better out there that has 
the same (features, speed, size, simplicity) mix, that is more reliable. 
I have tried simulating the features with sqlite3 but it is just as 
unreliable. Actually, it may be slightly worse.

And no, whilst there is a way of dumping spots into a mysql database, 
mysql isn't the answer either. It's too big, requires too much RAM and 
isn't any faster). MySql on 256KB Raspberry Pi? I don't think so.
