The worst? You could have nasty failures out of Python, segfaults,
stuff like that. In theory, it might even be able to corrupt your
database files, although I suspect not. So try it out with the memory
backend, make sure stuff's working, and make sure you did back up the
previous DLL (like he said to, but this is important enough to be
repeated).

Rolling back should be easy and safe. :)
