Unexpected database recovery

[Henrique de Moraes Holschuh]

One with deadlock problems and thinking of using the flock patch should 
read the stuff in https://bugzilla.andrew.cmu.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=1177

The POSIX alarm fix for the timeout/deadlocks stuff is working just fine
here.  Unfortunately Philipp Sacha didn't reply yet to give us a second
testimony on wether it works or not...

Philipp? Did it work?
