...if the user calls the cleanup function. But: Whoops, correction: If you mean using LMDB after fork(), (2) can't be safe unless the user makes it safe with pthread_atfork(). But at least it can clean up some of the stuff (3) also does, and he'll have the pthread_atfork option if he really needs it.
