This is probably due to unstable OS locking, usually only happening
with db4.3. This is a very bad release.
All other Berkeley versions are not affected.

I've setup a cronjob to dump away and verify my db4.3 testserver every day.
I would rather try to change to some SQL or file backend, than using db4.3.
