Is the flag for a flat namespace being included? Using two-level 
namespaces should solve the multiply-defined problem, and is the 
"proper" way to it on Mac OS X. I'm not sure what other problems this 
would result in, though.

Getting the list of multiply defined symbols would be useful for 
figuring this out. If it includes dbopen, then you can use the 
configure flag to change that symbol's name.
