Here it is:
/tmp/oldbbdb: Little-endian UTF-16 Unicode character data
Maybe some of the name entries contain the international characters made
this happen? I also notice this has happened a long time ago, coz my cvs
controlled .bbdb is in binary in the recent versions.
But now I cannot start gnus with this binary .bbdb, bbdb complains
the file-version is not found, and is used by gnus's spam-split.
Could it be a problem of mule-ucs? My mule package failed to compile
since I upgraded to emacs21.3. The error is:
UCS-0.84/lisp/un-define.el:
** reference to free variable progn
** The following functions are not known to be defined: find-charset,
w32-regist-font-encoder

I am only using 2.34 which is from the most recent FreeBSD port :(
