My suspicion is that there is a bug somewhere, probably in Berkeley DB. For example, it might acquire some lock with a timeout, hoping that normally, the lock gets released elsewhere quickly. On OSX, for whatever reason, that assumption might be false, so the timeout eventually occurs, along with retries and whatnot. Of course, that's just a theory - one would have to debug the test suite to find out what's really going on.
