The problem is that bogofilter quits working if it notices in time that
the DB is close to the limit, or, if it doesn't notice in time or
becomes the victim of a race, it may bump hard into the limit,
corrupting the data base.

The TXN version will survive such events without permanent loss of data,
but I would not yet recommend it for production, for the
recovery-and-DB_ENV-resize issue is still open.
