blow up in many situations. 4.6.21 looks pretty good, there's no reported
problems with it. BDB 4.7 is in the works already. On my last test, 4.7.13
SEGV'd in its deadlock detector, so yeah, I guess their release record is
kind
of spotty. But that's also the nature of newer software; as 4.7 is still
early
in its release cycle I expect it will improve just as the others did.

Apologies for reviving a dead thread - but I've had a couple of occasions this year when I've had to restore the bdb backend using db_recover.
I notice I'm using the version of bdb mentioned on this thread.. but am ignorant to the patches. I installed Buchan Milne's repo in order to get a stable openldap on RHEL4 - but my bdb version is still stuck in 2003.
What is the best advised route to upgrading - is there another repo with bdb in it, or should I compile bdb manually - then link to it later?
