Ok, so I figured that part out. The issue is pool
creation/destruction ordering. The bdb environment cache is created
after the connection pool, so it's destroyed before it (Last In, First
Out). This means that by the time apr_terminate comes around and
destroys the connection pool the bdb environment has already been
paniced as part of the cache destruction process.

Note that this is only an issue in the test cases, since we run with
--bdb-txn-nosync, normally this stuff would all have been safely
written out to disk. Regardless, it would be awfully nice if the
tests, well, worked, so I'll probably just commit the pool destruction
change.
