Subject: [PATCH] Configure db4 locks according to maxkeys and actually check
 maxkeys

  The number of db4 objects iin use is related to the maximum number of
  keys we return at once. Configure the locking subsystem accordingly
  and limit the number of returned keys to maxkeys.

  Significantly improves the reliability of the db4 backend on a large
  busy server.
