warning: DBTxn aborted in destructor. No prior commit() or abort().

I have seen these as well. bsddb isn't very forgiving when you have a Python exception inside a bsddb transaction, in the test suite. IIRC, the exception will abort the transaction, then the unittest fixture teardown will close the environment, and that will cause a bsddb crash because something is getting released that does not exist anymore. When I last looked at it, I did not see an easy way to fix it; contributions are welcome.

Regards, Martin
