I think I got it: during the third modification, it gets to call
bdb_entry_get() to collect the group entry; unfortunately, this relies
on saving some private data in op->o_private, but, note below:

334             if( op ) boi = (struct bdb_op_info *) op->o_private;
(gdb)
335             if( boi != NULL && op->o_bd->be_private == boi->boi_bdb-
>be_private ) {
(gdb) p boi
$2 = (struct bdb_op_info *) 0x40fff4f0
(gdb) p boi[0]
$3 = {boi_bdb = 0x903e60, boi_txn = 0x984e00, boi_err = 0, boi_locker =
2147483661, boi_acl_cache = 0, boi_locks = 0x0}
(gdb) p bdb
$4 = (struct bdb_info *) 0x904580
(gdb) p op->o_bd
$5 = (BackendDB *) 0x9043c0


the boi_bdb member of this private data __should__ be equal to op->o_bd,
but it was actually set by __another__ database.  This breaks things a
bit (I think the wrong database is asked to release a lock it doesn't
own; this is not an issue, the real issue is that the lock is not
released).

Honestly, I don't know how to proceed.  Hope someone else steps in...
