Well, I haven't seen any real-world bug reports for this problem,
which could mean that the test suite is wrong, or that nobody is using
Berkeley DB in Transactional Data Storage mode on hppa.

If you are familiar with the PA-RISC architecture, could you have a
look at dbinc/mutex_int.h (in the db4.5 or db package) and check if
the mutex implementation in the HPPA section is kosher?  Thanks.
