BDB 4.2.52 with all of the appropriate patches has years of stability 
behind it. Past that, 4.3 was a disaster (so much so that openldap aborts 
if you try to build against it), and 4.4 and 4.5 seem okay, but I've not 
used them heavily.  4.6 seems to hold the most promise after 4.2 if you 
compile it correctly on NTPL systems as there is an annoying problem with 
it otherwise.
