            Bug ID: 2141
           Summary: Hints db access should define a db environment
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.88
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Queues

Apparently Berkeley DB looks for a DB_CONFIG file in cwd for an "environment"
definition; this could be used to point to an alternate DB file location so
corrupting an unexpected file, which has security implications.

We should create a known environment for BDB before opening the db, to avoid
this.
