Package: libdb4.6
Version: 4.6.21-11

When I built my application against libdb4.6-dev on amd64, after a fairly short period of activity it failed with the following error from libdb:

DB: Logging region out of memory; you may need to increase its size

I tried bumping the logging region to 512KB in environment setup, but this did not fix the problem.

I tried db4.5 and db4.7 (the latter from unstable). As far as I can tell neither of these provoke this behaviour (which is why I think this is libdb's bug not mine). This is enough to solve my immediate problem although building with non-default libdb in lenny is rather inconvenient as other -dev packages appear to depend on the broken libdb4.6-dev.

I see from the upstream db4.7 changelog that there's some references to fixing logging region leaks. I've not yet attempted to analyze whether these changes are the actual cause but could possibly be persuaded to at least experiment with them if there was a realistic possibility that they would at some point be applied to lenny's db4.6 if suitably isolated.
