The issue isn't file locking. AFAIK, the Berkeley code can do all that
behind the scenes.

There isn't a *need*, but it seemed like a static variable could cut the
overhead on constantly initializing and opening a Database object.
The index and docdb variables are usually opened infrequently. For
example, htdig opens them *once*. Since the DocumentRef class is called
all over the place, it would be nice if it didn't have to constantly open
and close the db.
Does that make any sense?
