A bug in Sleepycat´s Berkeley DB (version 2.3.16 up to 2.6.4 beta),
was detected, that caused failure during opening of database files
when running a threaded slapd on a linux box, kernel version 2.0.35,
gcc 2.7.2.1, linux threads via libpthreads.so.1.60.4.

THE BUG OCCURS ONLY WHEN SLAPD IS RUN WITH THREADS ENABLED AND MAY
ONLY OCCUR ON THE PLATFORM SPECIFIED.

SINCE THE CODE OF DB_OPEN() IS THE SAME IN VERSION 2.3.16 AND 2.6.4
WITH REPECT TO THE BUG DETECTED, DB 2.3.16 SHOULD BE PATCHED AS WELL.

Apply the supported patch at the root directory of Sleepycat´s code.
Since the bug was reported to Sleepycat, it may not appear in DB
versions, later than 2.6.4 beta.
