The newer versions of Berkley DB also use locking and allow to allow for 
multiple writers.  Berkeley DB also has extensive support to ensure the 
database doesn't get permanently corrupted.  However Tdb may be more 
suitable since it is similar.  I guess only time will tell.  I am using  
Berkeley DB for my project (DistribNet).
