Well, I write a c program that opens the broken database for write and the
new database for read - both in binary mode. I then move however many
bytes - page size - from the new file to the old one.

I'm sure there's a bin/hex editor somewhere that would eliminate the tiny
program, but it's easier to write than to look for.

Best,
