 I found out the hard way (well, it wasn't very hard, just some
headscratching) that LMF only does this if it's building a database
from scratch; running 'lmf reset' afterwards does no good. So if you
install a /upgrade on a already running 4.0+ system, make sure to save
your keys somehow[*], rm /usr/adm/lmf/ldb, and only then run lmf reset
and reload your keys.

[*: I'd tell you how to do this, except I don't know; we have no PAKs
    loaded except the one we get from /upgrade, so it's never been
    a problem.]
