Do you have a credible alternative to Berkeley DB?
I also have great trouble with it in svn, but never with cfengine.

Although I'm not a C-coder, maybe making the DB-API a seperate part in the code and allowing people
to chose their own database would be an option. So one can chose between Berkeley and (e.g. flattext,
sqlite,gdbm,etc.). This way you can keep it flexible enough to respond to whatever may happen in the
database field and still keep a "recommended setup".
