Ahh.. We could create a frunction in mp_cmpr.c which makes a copy of the current DBENV and use this copy for _weakcmpr. We would need to figure out which DBENV variable fixes the problem. There are around 25 elements to the DBENV structure.. a fair number of these a function pointers and it seems unlikely to be those. > Yes, it is exactly Loic's code (mp_cmpr.c) that I was proposing to > fix.

If we confine ourselves to hacking mp_cmpr.c as much as possible that's cool. As long as we're on the same page here. (pun alert) > That sounds impressive.
