I have similar issues with bsddb. Here, there are Factory functions like "DBEnv" or "DB", creating "DBEnv" and "DB" class instances. Note the name aliasing. I don't understand why these functions exist. It causes a few problems, like being unable to subclass the bsddb classes, for example. For future bsddb4.6.4 (Late october, I think) I plan to remove the Factory functions, exporting the classes directly, and allowing subclassing. The code should be 100% compatible.
