Berkeley DB uses 1 based indices for RECNO databases, and the
implementation of BlockchainDB for Berkeley DB assumes 1 based
indices are passed to the API, whereas the LMDB one assumes
0 based indices. This is all internally consisteny, but since
the BDB code stores 1 based indices in the database, external
users have to be aware of this, as the indices will be off by
one depending on which DB is used.
There are various locale related bugs in various versions of boost,
where exceptions are thrown in boost::filesystem APIs when the
current locale is not to boost's liking. It's not clear what "not
to boost's liking" means in detail, though "en" and "en_US.UTF-8"
are not to its liking.
Fix it by running a test function that's known to throw in such
a case, and resetting LANG and LC_ALL to C if an exception is
thrown. In simplewallet, the locale is queried before that so the
correct translations will still be used.
