"The LMDB change "ITS#9278 fix robust mutex cleanup for FreeBSD" released
in version 0.9.26 makes samba-tool domain backup offline to fail with
the following error:

Failed to connect to 'mdb:///tmp/foo/private/sam.ldb.d/CN=CONFIGURATION,DC=FOO,DC=EXAMPLE,DC=COM.ldb' with backend 'mdb': Unable to load ltdb cache records for backend 'ldb_mdb backend'
module samba_dsdb initialization failed : Operations error

The error occurs opening the backed ldb to write the backup date and the
next SID, a call to pthread_mutex_lock in mdb_txn_renew0 (frame 8) returns
EINVAL:

Deleting the previous samdb instance by setting it to None before opening the
backed ldb workaround the problem until we find the real problem here."
