Run, do not walk, to the 0.82 release candidate.
If you look at the ChangeLog files and ML archives, you'll see quite a bit
of work on timeout logic in the beginning of 2007. The db-lib library
never implemented timeouts correctly before that. It does now.
Once you've updated, make sure you review *very* carefully the db-lib
dberrhandle() documentation. It's not the easiest functionality in the
world to get right.
If you have further problems, just holler.
