db 3.3.11 and Win98 - still problematic

Hi,

Just a quick observation for anyone who's interested.

I've just verified that Berkeley db-3.3.11 still doesn't solve the problem 
reported earlier for db-3.2.x on Win98. 'svnadmin create' still creates a 
corrupt db environment.

However, running the same binaries on W2k succeeds.

Mats

Hey, Mats.  Thanks for reminding me that I was supposed to send this
same report out last week *blush*.  Indeed, the problem is still not
solved.

CALL TO LIST-FOLK:

We desperately need someone to create a small well-written program
that exhibits this problem on Win9x -- something that mimics the
way we use Berkeley DB in libsvn_fs (with DB_ENV stuff and all those
goodies).  

This program should be as small as possible, and beautifully commented
-- in other words, I'd like to be able to send this little program in
a mail to Berkeley DB's support folk so that *they* can reproduce the
problem.  I've sent mail to them in the past about the bug, but there
was no way they were going to dive into a codebase of our size to find
this bug.  

The results of this operation will be, I hope, either a bug fix from
Sleepycat, or someone there saying, "Well, duh, of course it doesn't
work -- you (did/didn't do) _______________!"

Any takers?
