Sorry for keeping on following up on my own postings, but threaded
SBCL-1.0.16, elephant-0.9.0 with bdb, uffi-1.6.0 play together in a jail
on FreeBSD-6.2 @ amd64.  At least the BDB tests doesn't complain.

I had to rebuild db45 without the `--enable-pthread_api' configure
option to get rid of the "undefined symbol __usleep" thing while loading
libdb-4.5.so.  Will that break other things wrt Elephant use of BDB?
