rpm-4.4.2+ specifically turns on --enable-posixmutexes (which is
the default preferred locking scheme for db that is detected if  
available iirc).

Same as rpm-4.4.8 uses internally. The only other patch applied to  
Berkeley DB
is to handle robust posix mutexes. You don't necessarily need that  
patch, lack of
it should not affect anything.

Doing the following should either reproduce your rpm problem or  
verify your
db build, depending on results:

    cd /var/lib/rpm
    db_verify Packages
