STABLE: Exipreover (OVDB) freezes innd

[Heath Kehoe]

Which version of BerkeleyDB are you using?  You might check the
sleepycat patches page at 
http://www.sleepycat.com/download/patchlogsdb.shtml
to see if there are any patch releases.  In particular, there is a
patch for 4.2.52 (the latest release) that fixes a hang.

I plan on revisiting the expireover function in OVDB here in the
next month, to take advantage of some of the newer features present
in BerkeleyDB 4.x, which hopefully will help expireover's performance
and reliability.
