There were no database configuration changes between 4.0.1 and 4.1.0.
I was able to use the same dbconfig file.  Just be sure to make a
backup before your upgrade (which is sound advice regardless of what
software package you plan on updating).  We should add a section to
the documentation to address this.  IIRC, there were some compilation
errors on Sun platforms.  We ripped out libiberty and replaced it with
copies of GNU lib functions that weren't present on other platforms.
We're still having problems with some Sun platforms, as was recently
noted in the bug database.

Did anyone else experience problems going between 4.0.1 and 4.1.0.
