BTW, I notice that in an older version of krb5_db2_db_rename() instead
of calling krb5_db2_db_init() there is:

    db_ctx->db_lf_file = open(db_ctx->db_lf_name, O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0600);
        if (db_ctx->db_lf_file < 0) {
            retval = errno;
            goto errout;
        }

    db_ctx->db_inited = 1;

So it creates the lock-file and sets db_inited.  Is it reasonable to
modify the 1.6 krb5_db2_db_init() interface to take a flag to indicate
the lock-file may need to be created?
