apparently it's failing while calling ele::get-value. i tried some
simple tests and this:

CL-USER> (make-instance 'bdb-tree)
#<SLEEPYCAT::BDB-BTREE {10025FB111}>
CL-USER> (setf (get-value 5 *) 5)

hangs. attempting to interrupt it and examine the backtrace doesn't
provide any useful info. i traced a bunch of functions in the
get-value method and it appears to block when calling
db-get-key-buffered.

thanks,
