Yes, I do. :)

Actually, everything should be sync'd up now.  Python 2.3cvs should
support BerkeleyDB 4.1 just fine.  In fact the pybsddb project on SF
is now just a distutils shell.  It actually gets its files from
Python's cvs.  (Aside: there's a glitch here that the Py2.3cvs isn't
compatible with Python 2.1, which I think we want it to be.  I'll fix
that when I can find the time.)

I'm currently using db-4.1.25 with Python 2.3cvs just fine.
