I think it would be helpful if you could analyze the crashes that bsddb
caused on Windows. Just go back a few revisions in the subversion tree
to reproduce the crashes.

These were particularly bad since they invoked the CRT abort() inside
bsddb, namely inside __db_win32_mutex_unlock, which, in debug mode, 
would __db_panic with "Win32 unlock failed: lock already unlocked".

This problem has now been worked-around, by reformulating the test cases
so that the situation doesn't occur anymore, but IMO, it should not be
possible for an extension module to cause an interpreter abort.

Regards,
Martin
