Of course, that would avoid the problem, because I wouldn't be using
DB's built-in locking anymore :-) Using tie() means losing the
environment, which is needed for DB's internal locking.
In a production environment with thousands of hits per hour coming in
on multiple threads, I really don't trust flock() to do the job.
