At least one user is reporting .AppleDB corruption on FC6 in upstream  
mail lists.
I personally have seen .AppleDB corruption when building netatalk  
against db4 packages older than 4.1.25.
I will soon be migrating one of our more heavily used file servers  
that runs netatalk to FC6.

I would recommend building development netatalk packages against  
db-4.2.52 to minimize end user .AppleDB corruption.

Upstream moves slowly, so getting a fix there to be compatible with  
new db4 is not likely soon.
