This explains why I can't run a Subversion server on OS X for more
than about 5 commits before the database explodes. I've spent days
trying to track down this problem already, but didn't get anywhere
(probably because I was looking inside Subversion instead of BDB for
the problem).

Do you have a patch for 4.0.14 to fix the mutex problems? If so I can
test it out... I've got plenty of test cases - for example, all I need
to do is create a new repository, import a dumpfile, and I get errors
with the version I'm using.
