Here's the BDB 4.4 release announcement... I have some questions about
this & OpenLDAP inline.

The Berkeley DB 4.4 release introduces a number of important new
features
in three major functional areas.
The first area is in limiting when database environment recovery
needs
to be performed. The Berkeley DB 4.4 release introduces the ability
to abort transactions and release locks held by processes that have
failed, without exiting the database environment and performing
recovery. In addition, the 4.4 release also introduces the
ability to
serialize the database environment creation process, performing
recovery automatically as necessary. This feature can significantly
simplify the architecture of applications comprised of multiple
concurrent processes.
Since BDB now does auto-recover, is alock going to cause conflicts?
