As has already been stated, Soren's changes are in 6.x.  If you are able 
to test this workload against 6.0-BETA1 using the hardware in question, 
that would be very helpful.  Depending on the nature of the workload and 
problem, you might find you need to compile out the debugging features, as 
they slow things down quite a bit, so might reduce the transaction rate 
sufficiently to make the problem fail to occur.  If it requires 5.x 
applications, you might find you have to wait for BETA2.
