I tried BDB 4.1.25 once early on at home, and things didn't go well. However,
I've been running Subversion on a my multi-processor machine with BDB 4.0.14
and have had no problems yet. Keep in mind it's only me using this
repository though. :-)
As a sidenote, I'm willing to help out in anyway that I can for testing on
multi-processor machines. Just let me know what I need to do.
