   I've cleaned things up and recompiled/linked with BDB 4.0.14 (was
   using 3.3.11) and the same deadlock occurs in txn_abort. You're
   right, this sounds like a bug for Sleepycat to address. I cannot
   find any code path that bdb_add executes without a transaction, so
   it appears we're doing the right things.

It might be worthwhile to try to write a small program that
demonstrates this instead of relying on all of OpenLDAP.
