Hmm, OK, but why not use the newest release?  Apparently, there's
release-R72-11316.B already.

Although cmd_bdb seems to be still broken in the newer release.
And so are the tests.
And so is the workbuf test check.

So your patch definitely LGTM as is!

Additionally, the patches are not in upstream master, so it might make
sense to send those to the them, so that we don't have to maintain the
extra patches forever.
