The purpose is extra features.

Mainly, we are having problems with reliability.  Twice now, when the
system has crashed, the database was corrupted.  The scary thing is
that both times the database was completely idle when this happened.

Version 2.3 fixes a problem with the database checkpoint command and
also allows for an automatic database recover on startup.  Hopefully,
this will at least allow us to recover more easily in the case of a
crash.

We are also looking at updating Berkely DB to see if that would help.
