What the heck does THAT mean?

Well, the only program you're executing that's linked against Berkely
DB is sendmail (called indirectly by /bin/mail):

CRAP! Derek, you figured it out for me. In FC1, I compiled my own sendmail
to get the latest version...8.14.5. So, when FC4 upgraded my machine,
it saw I had a "current" version, and happily ignored it, even though it won't work.

Phew!

$ ldd `which grep`

So... it may mean that sendmail is failing to execute because you have
a version mismatch.  Have you tried updating your system lately?

(Bangs head against wall, shattering the wall) Sigh. Yes. Wow, do I
feel dumb.

 You
can try testing this out by running sendmail on the command line.
Something like this might make a nice test:

 $ sendmail address@xxxxxxxxxxx
 From: user@xxxxxxxxxxx
 To: address@xxxxxxxxxxx

 This is a test.
 .

The actual addresses in the headers that you type don't really matter,
so long as you *do not* specify the -t option to sendmail.

Do you get the same messages?

Yep. But I "downgraded"/reinstalled and it works great. Thanks!
