One of the things to consider is the number of places db is used in
FreeBSD
code.  Any bugs in db can manifest in any of these:

contrib/bind
contrib/global
contrib/nvi
contrib/perl5
contrib/sendmail
crypto/kerberosIV
crypto/heimdal
lib/libc/gen/devname.c
lib/libc/gen/getcap.c
lib/libc/gen/getpwent.c
lib/libc/gen/ttyname.c
libexec/ypxfr
sbin/init
sys/dev/aic7xxx
usr.bin/finger
usr.bin/tsort
usr.bin/vacation
usr.sbin/sa
usr.sbin/rpc.yppasswdd
usr.sbin/rpc.ypupdated
usr.sbin/ypserv
contrib/amd
contrib/cvs
lib/libkvm

pr/9350 is an example of db bugs effecting vi.
(Would someone PLEASE apply the simple patch and close the damn PR!)
