Just to follow up on this issue, I am happy to report that my brother was
indeed successful, having installed 2004, in retrieving his locked-up X
database. It is curious that his database resultantly shrunk from 3.99GB
down to about 1; other identities of his also showed a FOURfold reduction in
size. This suggests that something went seriously wrong in X and his
database bloated catastrophically without ever warning him (he stresses that
he never received warnings). Has anyone else seen such drastic and sudden
database bloat in X?
Incidentally, the way he retrieved it was by importing using 2004ıs import
tool, since simply moving that old database to 2004 MUD folder and then
opening it, did not work, but rather caused a freeze-up each time.
