You could provide:

1) the same debugging info used before to confirm the same code paths,
2) a statement or two about

You could cease

1) guessing that the cause is too large a database
2) claiming "blocker" for what? your life? your distro? OpenMandriva? Whatever ...

You have been told multiple times based on the previous debugging trace
that this is a regression in Berkeley DB that needs to be fixed in Berkeley DB,
not with hack-o-rounds in rpm.

You already have a fix: use bdb 5.2. (Mark Hatle's patch is a workaround, not a fix).

Quoted from the link you have provided:
    I have a workaround patch, but it's far from a fix.

And you've made a whole lotta noise about an ancient (and still not properly fixed) bug
for no important reason.
