One more idea for your testing: Berkeley-DB by default uses some Pthread
based locking under Solaris. If you add --with-mutex=UNIX/fcntl in RPM's
db3/configure script when it calls DB's configure you can enforce plain
fcntl(2) locking. This is then some completely different mutex. Perhaps
it also solves the problem.
