What will happen if one binary is linked against db41 *and* db44 through
other libraries? ldd showed db41 and db44 for the mutt binary, what will
happen when calling one of these "unstable" functions?=20

What is the difference between linking against db41 *plus* db44 or
linking just to db44 for all binaries? Conflicts? Overloading?
Segfaults?

How may I (automatically) check for incompatible db4x-Version?
compiler/linker errors? Runtime errors? Data structure errors in data
files? Data loss or corrupted db files?

Regards
Raphael
