This bug will be taken care of by PEP 3137 http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-3137/ being implemented. Anyways, no the _bsddb.c changes that I checked in do not cause a problem because I checked them in using PyBUF_SIMPLE. Until PEP 3137 is implemented the possibility of hidden data corruption due to mutable bytes objects being modified while an IO library that releases the GIL is using them remains. Feel free to close this bug in favor of something that just tracks the PEP being implemented.
