The result was another "DBMI-DBF driver error: (null)", but this
time with a segmentation violation and a core dump.  That might help.  I'll
try to see if the core dump points me in the right direction.  

Since I'm running on FreeBSD and not any flavor of linux, and there have 
been major porting headaches, perhaps there's something odd about how some 
particular file is compiled that wasn't a problem when I first built Grass 5.7
in November.

Thanks for the suggestion, it has probably gotten me going in the right 
direction.
