Could you be thinking of this bug?

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=116192

That wasn't a locking bug.  It was a weird bug whereby Berkeley DB
would, for no reason at all, sleep for one second whenever it needed
to allocate memory!

It's still present in Fedora Core 1, I believe.
