Both are using our db1. The difference is:

-DUSE_DB1        use the emulation code the previous vi used
                 (this is not the default)
-DUSE_BUNDLED_DV use the new vi API that is db neutral (this is
                 the default)

There is no separate copy of the db code.

I can't get the crash you are describing to happen. Can you tell
me how to reproduce it?
