[issue4774] threding, bsddb and double free or corruption (fasttop)

Alain, you are seeing a resource exhaustion problem. Somewhere memory is
leaking. That is, the programs are leaking memory.

bsddb was vastly improved in python 2.6. In particular, memory leaks and
resource tree deallocations. Can you consider use that version?.

You can install and updated pybsddb version in python 2.5. See
http://www.jcea.es/programacion/pybsddb.htm. Just remember that the
module is called "bsddb3" instead of "bsddb". You can easily install it
using setuptools ("easy_install" script).

Please, confirm that the problem vanished with the new module.

What Berkeley DB are you using with bsddb bindings?.
