      <p class="MsoNormal">Berkeley DB Java Edition 5.0.55 is a patch
        release consisting of fixes for a number of issues. We strongly
        recommend that users of the 5.0.x version upgrade to this
        release. These fixes include:<o:p></o:p></p>
      <ul type="disc">
        <li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 11pt;"> [#21537] 
          Fixed a critical bug that causes a database to be entirely
          deleted after a crash (or abnormal shutdown, i.e., when not
          calling Environment.close). The bug occurs when the database
          is renamed just prior to the crash (or abnormal shutdown).
          This bug was introduced in JE 5.0.48.</li>
        <li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 11pt;">[#21492] 
          Fixed an inefficiency in the Checkpointer which manifests
          itself as
          a large amount of time being spent in
          <code>com.sleepycat.je.recovery.DirtyINMap.removeNextNode()</code>
          calling
          <code>java.util.HashMap$HashIterator.remove()</code> calling
          <code>java.util.HashMap.removeEntryForKey()</code>. </li>

          An enhancement has been made to <code>DbVerify</code> to show
