Does the BDB code have any multi-threaded code?
It sure screams out as a synchronization bug in the software... these
always show up faster in multi-processor systems... and they may not be
100% repeatable in a short test sequence.
Isn't it too easy to ignore this error as a Windows flakiness issue;
especially when others have seen it intermittently?
