Markus -- /bin/cat use is used for locking, so what it means is that
the in-memory objects haven't been deleted (so the database is still
open). This is a problem if you're opening and closing databases a lot
with some bindings languages.

The current trunk version has an explicit way of closing
databases. I'm not sure if this is available in the perl bindings or
not yet, however.
