Thanks for you answers, it seems that there is a problem with sbcl and linux 64-bit. I noticed that this problems does not appear on my 32-bit systems only on the 64-bit systems. If I start sbcl with --dynamic-space-size there is no effect by allocating more memory than specified - therefor I

Hello, I would like to start using Elephant. Unfortunately, I do not know much about the Berkeley database system, so I am stuck just at the beginning. I would like to use the Berkeley libraries which come with my Debian/Lenny (which is version 4.8), and cannot find the db_deadlock binary there
