Well that's strange. With an open transaction,
log files containing records generated beforehand
are not marked as deletable because they might
be required for recovery in the event that the
long transaction never commits.

Perhaps an optimization has been added to DB
to detect the case where a txn has not done any
writes, and avoid generating the log record until
that happens.

Is it possible that you're running a different version
of libdb than Howard ?
