Multiple lisp processes (in a shared memory environment) should be safe, but I'm not sure if it's tested (anyone here done this?).
I believe they have to use the same BDB environment, so you may need to do some checking on the proper open-store arguments to join vs. create an environment. Some defaults in weblocks or elephant may interfere with this. bdb-controller.lisp - open-controller definition shows you what arguments are passed to BDB when it is opened. Regardless, please upgrade to BDB 4.7. Most of us using unstable are on 4.6 or 4.7 now. I'd rather not track down issues associated with non-compatible upgrades (it should work, but testing coverage is getting tougher with all the system combinations of backends, BDB versions, DB versions, etc).
