The DB_REGISTER feature (which has the potential to simplify database
maintenance significantly) does not work as expected, at least for me.
Apart from that (and the cursor bug I reported and which has been
fixed by Sleepycat), things seem to run pretty well for my
application.  I can report again, after a few weeks of testing.

But then again, I'm not really used to Berkeley DB trouble. 8-)
