Sorry I hadn't mentioned that here earlier, but yes, as far as I can
tell krb5 won't work with dbm on *any* system unless you #ifdef out
the locking that it does. (I have a seperate debian package of libgdbm
that I use for just that reason, and have been trying to think of a
way to have one package support both modes...)
Once marc's berk_db fixes get checked in, I'd certainly be happy
testing it extensively and (hopefully) committing to it. As Ken has
pointed out, we *know* that dbm is really broken too, with *small*
cases, much less large ones, and have merely gotten lucky thus far...
