    Why the hell is Netscape doing this? Netscape is a browser/mail
    program, not a multi-user database, or are you refering to the
    server side of NetScape? This doesn't sound right! Why would
    Netscape need to write-through files all the time -- for browser
    failover?

Netscape uses .db files doesn't it? Perhaps this behavior is required
to ensure integrity there?
