Does 'db53_stat -xh PTree' reflect the mutex counts set in DB_CONFIG?

If not, try recreating the DB environment for each DB:

        cd /var/lib/sks
        db53_recover -h DB
        db53_recover -h PTree

That is usually sufficient. It removes the old environment. SKS will recreate
the environment on startup.

I have an option in my sks startup script that runs the following:

    for DB in KDB PTree
        do
        (   db53_recover -h $DB;            \
            db53_checkpoint -1h $DB;        \
            db53_recover -eh $DB    )       &
        done
        wait
