A bdb is a buffer descriptor block - the internal mechanism that tracks
pages in cache. In theory, the locking scheme should never produce a
deadlock and that code should never be executed. However, at some point
the theory was dropped (apparently) and an incorrect ordering slipped
in. There's been some work in the cache management - especially in Vulcan.
