Thanks for following up on this, I haven't had time to look to see if
anything I did might have broken it. I suspect not but would love to
find out either way.
The commits on June 28 did add weakref support to the bsddb.db DB, DBEnv,
& DBTxn C objects (DBCursor has had weakref support for many months;
I just added it to the rest of the objects)
