    I think I added in 10 seconds 'cause the tests kept failing when it
    was at 2 seconds ;-)
    
    I remember digging around the code a bit when I bumped bsddb to 4.7
    on Windows to try and figure out what was going on.  As far as I
    could tell it wasn't anything obvious caused by the Python code; is
    it possible this could be an issue with the underlying bsddb code?
    
    Side note: are all your recent bsddb changes that went into trunk
    also available in py3k?  I've had "bump py3k Windows buildbots to
    use bsddb 4.7.25" on my todo list for far too long!  

        Trent.
