I guess I need to look at your unittests, because in my testing,
reading/writing with a single instance works great, but if you want
changes to be seen by other instances (in other threads or processes),
you need to .commit() changes. I'm thinking that that's a reasonable
expectation; I never expected bsddbs to be able to share their data
with other processes until I did a .sync(), but maybe I never expected
much from my dbm-like interfaces?
