That's good news!
Thanks for having tested it, Ray.

I do not have any special test to do.  Thanks for the proposal.

As you know, INN 2.5.1 will soon be released and I only wanted to know
whether there were outstanding problems with libdb 4.8 so as to fix them
before the release.
If the compilation with "make warnings" works fine, the test suite too
and you do not notice weird issues the following days with your testing INN,
then I believe it is fine to assume that the new 4.8 version can be reported
to work with INN 2.5.1 and that we can mention the fact in the 2.5.1 release
notes.
