The basic problem is that changes (deletes) are not correctly
written to the disk, but are visible only in the current context
(e.g. the opened database).

This shows up in correctly working test scripts (e.g.
tests/dba.php), but when accessing the database afterwards, the
deletes don't show up there.

I've seen this before, but I'm not sure where the source of the
problem is. Since problems were observed only with Sleepycat's
DB2, it's probably the db2 handler or DB2 itself.
