Looking at bsddb/__init__.py (where the old bsddb compatibility 
interface is implemented) I don't see why the hammer.py attached 
below should cause a problem. The database is opened with 
DB_THREAD using a private environment (no DBEnv passed to DB()). 
 
I definately see potential threading problems with the _DBWithCursor 
class defined there if any of the methods using a cursor are used (the 
cursor could be shared across threads; that's a no-no). But in the 
context of hammer.py that doesn't happen so I wouldn't have expected 
a problem. Unless perhaps creating the DB withou a DBEnv implies 
that the DB_THREAD flag won't work. The DB_RECOVER flag is only 
useful for opening existing DBEnv's; we have none. 
 
I've got to pop offline for a bit now but i'll try a hammer.py modified to 
use direct DB calls (for easier playing around with and bug reporting to 
sleepycat if turns out to be a bug on their end) later tonight. 
 
PS keiths response is in the sleepycat.txt attachment if you open the 
URL to this bug report on sourceforge.
