[issue1397] mysteriously failing test_bsddb3 threading test in other threads

[Gregory P. Smith]

Gregory P. Smith <greg at krypto.org> added the comment:

agreed, that should be made to cause the test to fail.  a
failureException method that sets a flag that the main thread will
detect and fail on when exiting should do the trick.

side note:
...sadly that failure appears to be a test issue, not really a bsddb
wrapper issue...

(There are many tests in the Lib/bsddb/test/ full test suite that appear
to go overboard as far as testing a python wrapper is concerned and are
effectively tests of BerkeleyDB features themselves.  That doesn't help
our test reliability.)
