Moby-

thanks for your reply !!! Fine !

1. I should compile db4 without threads, ok.
2. I should not use db4 ???? Why should i compile db4 without threads ?
   is db3 recommended ? but with redhat 8 and db 4.0.14 it works fine.
   what are your problems with skiplist ?
3. uname -ar
   2.4.20 #4 Thu May 1 06:11:11 CEST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
   I use an original kernel (not redhat) compiled by myself (i686)
   I've not updatet the glibc, it was not availiable on the
   ftp.redhat.com. i do updates manually and remove up2date first
   after installing ;-).

thanks!!!
