Looking at the source code, the man page has the section about using DB_LOCK and DB_SHMEM commented out. looking at the code quickly does seem to indicate that DB_SHMEM is a NOOP. There is a some code associated with DB_LOCK, but ultimately it also appears to be a NOOP. Assumming it is not possible to do concurrent writes, it would be nice to see this indicated in the bugs section of the man page.
