When multiple threads of control are modifying the database, there is normally the potential for deadlock. In Berkeley DB, deadlock is signified by a DeadlockException thrown from the Berkeley DB function. Whenever a Berkeley DB function throws a DeadlockException, the enclosing transaction should be aborted.
