The philosophy behind recover is that all processes have died that
were accessing the db, and assuming that the locks that are there are
stale.
This is why Sleepycat recommends using a single program to access
the db and to proxy everything through that. We do have an issue on
this IIRC.

This should become much simpler with a vtable-ized fs. I suspect that
Greg Hudson's svn-protocol marshalling routines (and methodology) would
be easily re-usable in such an endeavor.

Yeah, deep down, this is my secret wish. Post-1.0, I'd love to see a
single daemon access the berkeley db environment -- much like the way
'mysqld' works.
