Snaphot 20130317 addresses sub-optimal behavior in the LMDB client
code that affected tlsmgr and "postmap -i", and it makes the code
more resilient.
In particular, the Postfix LMDB client will no longer keep crashing
on a "database full" error. Instead, Postfix can now recover without
immediately requiring human intervention. This is important because
many Postfix databases contain data that is maintained by a Postfix
daemon process, and the size of the data is not known in advance.
With this, LMDB no longer requires constant watching for "database
full" errors. As the system recovers from an error, it logs a warning
that humans can take care of the next day.
