Why does svn_fs_berkeley_logfiles use DB_PRIVATE?

Sleepcat docs say this about DB_PRIVATE

  This flag should not be specified if more than a single process is
  accessing the environment because it is likely to cause database
  corruption and unpredictable behavior. For example, if both a server
  application and the Berkeley DB utility db_stat are expected to access
  the environment, the DB_PRIVATE flag should not be specified.

DB_PRIVATE is being used in svn_fs_berkeley_logfiles, and svnadmin
uses this function for both the list-unused-dblogs command the new
hotcopy command. Since both those commands are intended to be used
while the server is running, it looks like a bug to me. Anyone
disagree?
