I have seen these as well. bsddb isn't very forgiving when you have
a Python exception inside a bsddb transaction, in the test suite.
IIRC, the exception will abort the transaction, then the unittest
fixture teardown will close the environment, and that will cause
a bsddb crash because something is getting released that does not
exist anymore. When I last looked at it, I did not see an easy way to
fix it; contributions are welcome.
