+<p>This is not really a problem with subversion, but it often effects
+subversion users.</p>
+
+<p>RedHat 9 ships with a Berkeley DB library that relies upon the kernel
+support for NPTL (the Native Posix Threads Library).</p>
+
+<p>The kernels that RedHat provides have this support built in, but if you
+compile your own kernel, then you may well not have the NPTL support. If that
+is the case, then you will see errors like this:
+<blockquote><pre>
+svn: Berkeley DB error
+svn: Berkeley DB error while creating environment for filesystem tester/db:
+Function not implemented
+</pre></blockquote>
+This can be fixed in one of several ways:
+<ul>
+<li>Rebuild db4 for the kernel you're using.</li>
+<li>Use a RedHat 9 kernel.</li>
+<li>Apply the NPTL patches to the kernel you're using.</li>
+<li>Use a recent (2.5.x) kernel with the NPTL support included.</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
