[New-bugs-announce] [issue1391] Adds the .compact() method to bsddb db.DB objects

[Gregory P. Smith]

New submission from Gregory P. Smith:

I'm attaching the patch to add this method here just as a place to track
it for now.  It compiles and it looks right, but it causes a crash
within BerkeleyDB when the test case runs using BerkeleyDB 4.6.21.  It
passes as expected when using 4.4.20 or 4.5.20.

I won't commit this until the 4.6 crash issue is resolved.

python bindings for the compact method were requested here:
