         Specify that test-and-set mutexes should spin <span class="bold"><strong>tas_spins</strong></span> times without blocking.  The value
         defaults to 1 on uniprocessor systems and to 50 times the number of
         processors on multiprocessor systems, up to a maximum of 200.
    </p>
      <p>
         The database environment's test-and-set spin count may also be
         configured using the environment's <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file. The syntax of
         the entry in that file is a single line with the string
         "set_tas_spins", one or more whitespace characters, and the number
         of spins. Because the <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file is read when the database
         environment is opened, it will silently overrule configuration
         done before that time.
    </p>
      <p>
         The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;mutex_set_tas_spins()</code> method configures operations
         performed using the specified

         operations performed on the underlying database environment.

      <p>
         The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;mutex_set_tas_spins()</code> method may be called at any time
