And I have _no_ trouble reproducing the problem.  t.lock2 has failed 
_every_ time I run it on my development machine which is Mandrake 9.0 
(installed a week ago), with kernel 2.4.19-16mdk, db3.3-3.3.11-11mdk, 
Pentium III 500mhz, 256MB, scsi, ext3.

I'm also planning to test on my P133 (Mandrake 8.2, kernel 2.4.18, 
db3.3-3.3.11-7mdk, 128MB, scsi).
