I saw this the other day:

Hmm... does this look familiar to anyone? What version of berkley DB do
we use.... 1.85... HMMMMMMMMMM
My questions are:
1) will gcc without any '-O' flags make a difference?
2) Can we upgrade to the latest Berkley DB (we will need to do a version bump
of libc to accomplish this.
It is clear that we _must_ do something... the db in our libc is buggy.
