Previously, a race condition could occur in the Berkeley DB Concurrent Data Store, which corrupted to the RPM database (RPMDB). After this update, process IDs during file transactions are more thoroughly tested. As a result, the race condition and the consequent RPMDB corruption no longer occur.

I am not able to reproduce this issue with attached reproducer BZ#1099509#c13. libdb-5.3.21-17.el7.x86_64 Running test.sh or rpmtest.sh just write `date` and nothing else - it just hangs there. Am I doing something wrong? Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
