ITS#5391 [Fwd: [Berkeley DB Announce] Berkeley DB 4.6.21.1 - Patch Announcement]

[bdb@oss.oracle.com]

I know you're not using BDB 4.6 with OpenLDAP 2.3, so this patch isn't 
strictly relevant to this ITS. It just raises the possibility that there is a 
BDB bug involved.

A patch for Berkeley DB release 4.6.21 that fixes a race condition between
checkpoint and DB->close() which can result in the checkpoint thread
self-deadlocking (SR [#15692]) is now available.  We recommend all users of
Berkeley DB apply this patch so as to avoid this issue in production.
