* BerkeleyDB API, but much simplified. The entire database is exposed
* in a memory map, and all data fetches return data directly
* from the mapped memory, so no malloc's or memcpy's occur during
* readers, and readers don't block writers.

* Unlike other well-known database mechanisms which use either write-ahead

* the database and re-uses them for new write operations, so the database
* size does not grow without bound in normal use.

* stale locks can block further operation.
